The first step to making your home more attractive is to get it clean and tidy. In addition to interior cleaning, power washing your home’s exterior can significantly improve its appearance. It’s also important to get rid of clutter, both inside and out. Keeping things tidy will result in nice, clean lines everywhere potential buyers look.</li> <li>Brighten things up. The type of light in your home can have a huge impact on the way it looks and feels to potential buyers. Correcting your home’s lighting may be as simple as changing your light bulbs, but you may have to replace the actual light fixtures as well.</li> <li>Get some green. Decorative plants are vital for giving your home a feeling of life. You may have a lot of nice furniture, but without any plant life, it’ll feel more like a store than a home.</li> <li>Make cosmetic upgrades. Replacing carpet, repainting and making other minor upgrades to your home can go a long way toward enhancing its appeal for potential buyers.</li> <li>Get professional insight. Schedule a staging consultation with an experienced professional to get advice on which measures will benefit your home the most.  </li> </ol> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/" target="_self">Use Diamond Certified Resource to find top rated companies.</a> Local, Top Rated Diamond Certified Companies Related to Your Topic <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/alameda-real-estate-sales-agents/" target="_self">Alameda County Real Estate Agents</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/real-estate-sales-agent/ca/contra-costa-county/" target="_self">Contra Costa County Real Estate Agents</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/real-estate-sales-agent/ca/san-francisco-county/" target="_self">San Francisco Real Estate Agents</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/san-mateo-real-estate-sales-agents/" target="_self">San Mateo County Real Estate Agents</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/santa-clara-real-estate-sales-agents/" target="_self">Santa Clara County Real Estate Agents</a> Related Articles <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/Guide/Real-Estate/" target="_self">The Essential Guide to Real Estate Services</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/find-expert-advice/" target="_self">Get Expert Advice From Owners of Top</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/find-expert-advice/" target="_self">Rated Local Companies</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/membership/" target="_self">Become a Diamond Certified Preferred Member (Always Free)</a>
