1. Homeowners prefer to find a home in `move-in' condition.--The No. 1 thing a homeowner can do is make sure the house is clean and freshly painted. A nice neutral color throughout will provide the future homeowner with a welcoming feel and provide a clean canvas for which the future homeowner can take their time after move-in deciding how to decorate and modify.
2. Updated appliances-- Having old kitchen fixtures doesn't excite a homeowner. An easy fix is to invest in new kitchen appliances that provide a modern experience for the new homeowner.
3. Create a presence from the beginning -- make the entry way welcoming. Walking over chipped patios, cracked steps and/or a front door that sticks when opening doesn't create the best first impression. Make the entry way inviting.
4. Kitchen -- in addition to new appliances, look at the counter tops. Granite, Corian or marble are preferred. If you have laminate, it will cost you in the long run.
5. Bathrooms--- even if they are old, make sure they are clean, neutral colors -- and take the time to grout tile and/or update faucets and fixtures to provide more of a modern and clean environment.
