In today’s buyer’s market, it’s up to the sellers to bring out the best in their homes and stand out amid the staggering inventory of homes for sale. Your home has to look presentable before it goes on the market.

With so many homes for sale now, buyers are looking out for the best looking home with most upgrades for a very reasonable price. Buyers can pick and choose and that’s why it is very important the way your home is presented.

Your home may not be old, but can often look worn out. Here are some tips:

• Walk around the house and look at the condition of the home, seeking any minor damage that can be repaired prior to the house being put on the market.
• Put a neutral, fresh paint on the walls and that can do wonders.
