What should I do to the interior of my property, before I list it for sale?

Every room should look as spacious, bright, and warm as possible.

Wash walls, ceilings, and trim. Consider painting with light, neutral colours. Repair cracks.

Tighten loose knobs, towel racks, switch plates, and outlet covers.

Fix tight doors and windows, squeaky floorboards, and loose stair banisters.

Clean and repair caulking around tubs and sinks. Fix leaky faucets; remove water stains.

Clean and organize the basement and attic. (This is a good opportunity to throw out all the bits and pieces you don't want to move.)

Organize closets. Get rid of the clutter. Limit the number of items stored overhead or on the floor.

Clean out kitchen cabinets, and remove clutter from countertops.

Clean drapes, blinds, and curtains. Shampoo carpets, and wax floors.

Now's a good time to spray for bugs.

Arrange furniture to make rooms appear as spacious as possible.

Remove any items you're taking with you, such as chandeliers and mirrors.
