Here are 10 quick fixes that make a house more likely to be snagged up by buyers, according to home stager Lori Matzke, founder and president of Centerstagehome.com in Minneapolis:
- Paint the trim, columns, front door, and the light fixture.
- Replace the storm door with a full-view one.
- Clean all the window screens.
- Add new mulch and a potted plant by the front door.
- Remove mirrors from over the fireplace so buyers focus on the fireplace.
- Move furniture 1 1/2 to 2 feet away from the walls to create the illusion of more space.
- Get rid of any movable storage pieces in the kitchen and take all the clutter off the refrigerator.
- Clean and regrout the bathroom floor tile.
- Replace dated bathroom vanities with trendy (and economical) pedestal sinks.
- Put colorful bedding and matching window treatments in all the bedrooms.
