Prepping Your Home to List Without Overspending

You do not need a renovation to sell well. You need your home to photograph beautifully and show cleanly.

Start with light — replace dim bulbs, open every blind, clean the windows. Then paint anything scuffed in a warm neutral. Then handle the front walk and the mailbox.

Kitchens, primary bathrooms, and the entry get the most attention. Put your budget there and skip the rest.
