Selling your home and moving on can be beneficial but you’ll want to get top dollar for it. If you don’t have $30,000 or $40,000 to invest but want to increase the likelihood of selling quickly, some quick fixes can help. Below are 4 quick and easy ways to improve your home’s appearance.

1.	Remove clutter. If possible, rent a storage unit and pack all the stuff away into boxes and get it out of the house. Pack up old books, videos, trophies, photos, and other memorabilia, and take that stuff to a local self-storage facility. Leave just a few nice pieces of pottery and wall hangings that will dress the place up, but not overwhelm it.

2.	Update your kitchen. Potential home buyers will check this room out very carefully. They look at the age of cabinets, the condition of flooring and countertops, and the overall feel of the kitchen. You can reface or repaint cabinet fronts for just a few hundred dollars. Countertops are expensive to replace, but if you have the budget for them, quartz or granite countertops are a good selling feature. 

3.	Freshen the bath. Next to your kitchen, the bathrooms are the second most important area of the home to most buyers. Bathroom renovations can be pricey and if it’s small and cramped, home buyers will often just mark it off their list as too much work. Though expanding a bathroom can get quite expensive, there are a few ways to make it look larger and updated. 

4.	Curb appeal. Curb appeal can be created very easily and for just a few hundred dollars. If your front door is old-looking, put a fresh coat of paint on it. Shutters can be purchased for the windows across the front of the house to give it a whole new vibe. Try to find a color that blends well with your home’s exterior. Clear out flower beds and plant some lovely flowers.
