Little Repairs that Go A Long Way
These quick fixes will pay off when you put your house on the market. Replace burned-out light bulbs to maximize the light in your home, patch nail holes with synthetic caulk, and grease squeaky doors or cabinets with WD-40 or any other household lubricant.
If your home has hardwood floors, refinish them. If your home has carpeting, hire professional carpet cleaners. Be sure the cleaners get rid of any visible stains. Also make sure all towel racks and drawer pulls are in proper working order.
