When it’s time to sell your home, it can be overwhelming to consider what needs to be done.

Here’s the thing — there are SO many ways to improve the presentation (and value) of your home that don’t require a ton of time or money. A lot of times, some of the bigger ticket home improvements don’t even translate to a large increase in your sales price.
