Wear and tear on your home happens over time—so gradually that you may not even notice it. However, potential buyers will notice it! Worn-out areas of your home give it a tired look, but you can liven it up with some simple repairs and improvements. Start by trying to see your home through the eyes of a buyer. Take pictures—of everything. Photograph the interior and exterior, inside cupboards and closets, and do it from several angles. Looking at the photos will give you a fresh perspective.
