the first steps to putting your house on the market is start with the outside,like grooming your lawn.a clean yard even if plain,makes for a potential buyer.work your way from outside in.the smallest things can make or break for the selling of a property. you should not have to go all out with all name brand products to do any interior work either like, painting the walls a nuetrel color so the potential buyer can already visualize the way they themselves would have it.the simplest things will help sell your home.

Use a realtor that will do an al cart system of charging you. Pay for only the serveries you need.
ie: get in the mls, signage lock box negotiations.

Others may be skeptical, but I got an offer on a house in
2 weeks after painting, replacing worn flooring and staining
worn kitchen cabinet doors. We had raised the price by the amount
I spent in the above. The landscaping was already
nice and the bottom line was a house that stood out among
others in the neighborhood.

The only way to raise the value of your house is to get your neighbors to sell their houses at higher prices.
