difficult for prospective buyers to imagine themselves and their family living in the home. When it comes to paint colour and other decor stylings throughout the house, keeping things fairly neutral is always the safest bet, as not everyone might like a bright purple or orange bathroom. If you do have areas of your home with bold colour schemes, it might be a good idea to paint them before your home is listed, sticking to something a little more plain and neutral, like white, beige or grey. Many experts would agree that the kitchen and bathroom are two of the most important areas of the home when it comes to catching the attention of prospective buyers. Any updates or minor renovations that you're able to undertake – new faucets or countertops, a
fresh coat of paint – will help boost your home's appeal. The entranceway of a home, however, might be equally as important as the kitchen and bathroom, as many people make their mind up whether or not they like a home within the first few minutes of visiting. Not to be forgotten is the home's exterior – no matter how well-staged a home is, if the yard is unsightly, chances are, nobody is going to want to live there. Be sure that your lawn is kept nicely cut, weeds in the garden are dealt with and the yard, driveway and garage are kept clutter-free. Once you feel your house is ready to be admired by the masses, having someone take a second look to make sure you haven't missed anything.
