1. Fix a broken screen door: The front entrance is the first impression that a buyer will have of your home so make sure it’s a good one. Also, if your front door is looking worn, a new coat of paint will really make a big difference.
2. Fix up the roof: If there are missing shingles or shingles/gutters hanging off the roof, make sure to get that taken care of. A roof appearing to be in disrepair is going to be a big red flag to buyers.
3. Clear out the gutters: Ensure that the gutters are free of debris. While inspecting the gutters, recaulk the end caps on the gutter to finish them off.
4. Repair nail holes and repaint: Fill in any nail holes with lightweight putty, sand the putty down until its flush with the wall, and then paint over the area with primer. It’s a good idea to repaint the entire wall to ensure that everything blends well.
5. Take care of odors: Deep clean the kitchen and bathrooms with bleach and regrout tiles. In the bathroom, use caulk to fill in the cracks in the bathtub along the tiles, around the toilet, etc.
6. Repair dripping faucets: Leaky faucets never look good and repairing them is very simple.
