My Top-10 profitable low-cost or no-cost things you can do
OUTSIDE your home:
- Front door: paint or varnish if needed. Your front
door is one of the first impressions a homebuyer has of
your home. Take advantage of it.
- Get a "Welcome Friends" doormat. It makes a home
seem just a bit "friendlier"...
- "Brass adds class": For under $150 install polished
brass mailbox / mailslot, doorbell, light fixture, and
address numbers
- Paint outside if needed. You might be able to get
away with just painting the trim and garage door
- Lawn tip: green it up w/ ammonia sulfate, mow & edge
if needed
- Trim any overbearing bushes/trees
- Liven up the front w/ PLENTY of flowers, planted or
in pots -- this is probably the most important tip on
the list!
- Clean your driveway oil stains -- hardware stores
sell products that make it easier
- Move any old vehicles, trailers, or boats
- Get your neighbors to clean up their act. I know
this can be tough, but I've seen many San Diego homesellers lose
$1,000s because a neighbor's home looked terrible.
My Top-10 most profitable low- or no-cost things you can
do INSIDE your home:
- Clean your San Diego home until it sparkles
- "If in doubt, move it out"! Get rid of clutter &
extra furniture; crowded rooms feel smaller
- Follow your nose & eliminate pet odors
- Clean or replace your carpet as needed (a "carpet
credit" doesn't work well because it appeals to logic,
but buying a home is all emotion)
- If needed, paint the walls & ceiling near-pure white
(unless you have decorator’s eye & can choose the right
colors)
- De-personalize: tone down teen rooms & remove excess
family photos
- Invest in this 75c upgrade: install high wattage
bulbs
- Set your dining table with your fine china
- Buy new thick towels for the bathrooms, preferably
white + a color that works
- Add a splash of color with a bowl of bright green
limes or oranges on the kitchen counter
