When you are selling a home there are a lot of details to pay attention to. Buyers can be picky and many complain about a lot. But there are several simple aesthetic fixes that can stop buyers from being turned-off from your home. The first is overgrown and/or dead landscaping. Pruning and raking only cost a bit of time and can add some serious curb appeal. The next thing that you can easily fix to appeal to a wider variety of buyers is paint. Painting is a relatively inexpensive and simple fix to make. Ugly wallpaper and paneling can also turn-off buyers. Although it’s more difficult to take care of, replacing unattractive wallpaper with paint will make a huge difference. If you have options to remove your paneling and paint those walls too, you should take it, although removing paneling can be very tricky, so be sure to consult an expert before you begin any projects. Although there are many more buyer turn-offs that sellers can easily take care of, the final one I am going to mention are doors. Make sure all of your doors are on, hung straight, moving freely, and working properly before you begin showing your home.
