It is clear from my Facebook poll that you already know cleaning and de-cluttering ranks as the top suggested home improvement. This is a low cost improvement and it is recommended by 99% of real estate professionals, including myself. Why not? This project costs about $402 with a returning value of over $2,000 to the home’s sale price, or a 403% ROI! Now that's a reason to start cleaning and throwing things away that you haven’t used for years.
Take my free advice, and don’t shy away from project numbers 2 – 5, either. Spending around $2,500 in the right areas can bring in over $8,500 to the home’s sale price, not to mention a quicker sale.
