Do not do anything expensive, such
as remodeling. If possible, use savings to pay for any repairs and improvements
– do not go charging up credit cards or obtaining new loans. Remember that part
of selling a house is also preparing to buy your next home. You do not want to
do anything that will affect your credit scores or hurt your ability to qualify
for your next mortgage.
When looking at a house, prospective
home buyers often do not really know what to do. So they play with things. They
flick light switches. They open everything with a handle. They turn on all the faucets
and flush all the toilets. Having nice shiny fixtures makes an impression.
All your sink fixtures should look
shiny and new. If this cannot be accomplished by cleaning, buy new ones. Make sure
all the hot and cold water knobs are easy to turn and that the faucets do not
leak. If they do, replace the washers.
It sounds like hard work, but it's
pretty easy -- even for the inexperienced.
