One of the simplest and most inexpensive ways to spruce up your home is through paint. If you previously had rooms painted in bold colors like bright red and green, home improvement experts strongly recommend painting them over with neutrals so you can appeal to a wider range of would-be buyers. HomeAdvisor estimates painting costs for a small space like a bathroom to go anywhere between $150 and $350, but you can save more by doing the painting yourself!

First impressions matter, so it’s important to improve your exteriors and make your home look more inviting to potential buyers. Improving your curb appeal can start with something simple like power-washing your driveway, mowing your lawn, and upgrading your mailbox. From there, you can move on to larger projects like adding plant boxes, choosing new light fixtures, and upgrading your landscaping to tie everything together.

It's estimated that about 53% of all homes in North America will be smart homes within the next two years. This means your buyers will definitely see a property with popular smart home technologies as highly modernized and worth the price. Try installing LED light bulbs and smart thermostats, which provide comfort and convenience while also lowering utility bills. You can further increase your perceived property value among tech-savvy buyers through the safety-enhancing features of smart door locks and security cameras.

Before taking photos and placing your property on the market, ensure that your home is spotless and clutter-free. Professional cleaning services can be a viable option if you’re busy and can take on the extra costs. But for those who want to save money, DIY cleaning might take a bit of elbow grease. Fortunately, the process can be made much easier with the help of a robot vacuum cleaner. While you should definitely look for models with advanced self-navigation and hybrid mopping features, finding a robot vacuum with the right dustbin capacity is something that can’t be overlooked. Make sure that before you pick your vacuum, you're also taking into consideration your room size, floor type, and the kind of debris the device will be picking up, such as dust, pet hair, and even bugs.

While minor cracks and scratches here and there can be fixed with some good old-fashioned DIY repairs, pest problems are particularly troublesome. For those thinking about selling a house with termite history , you should first enlist the services of a pest control company, so they can identify the problem and assess how much damage has been done. The good news is that these kinds of problems don’t necessarily drive away buyers, as there will be individuals who know they’ll be getting a great deal on the property this way. At Atlas Property Investors, we ensure that you still get a fair price for your home, even if you sell it as-is for cash.
