Key Takeaways
- The goal isn't perfection. It's a well-maintained home that doesn't give buyers a reason to discount their offer
- Prioritize safety items that will likely come up in an inspection: smoke detectors, GFCI outlets, handrails
- Address visible deferred maintenance: leaky faucets, running toilets, chipped paint, clogged gutters
- Curb appeal has an outsized impact: fresh mulch, a clean front door, and trimmed landscaping all matter
- Decluttering and deep cleaning cost almost nothing and make a major difference in how a home shows and photographs
- Major renovations (kitchens, bathrooms) rarely return their full cost at sale. Talk to your agent first
