Repaint walls in light, neutral tones\n
Touch up baseboards, doors, trim
Exterior paint if faded or sun-damaged

This alone can completely change buyer perception

2. Fix All Minor Repairs (The “Honey-Do” List)

Leaky faucets
Loose handles/hinges
Cracked caulking
Running toilets

Buyers notice EVERYTHING—and assume worse if small things aren’t fixed

3. Deep Clean (Not Just Surface Clean)

Baseboards, vents, grout, windows
Remove hard water stains (big in AZ)
A spotless home = “well maintained” in buyers’ minds

4. Flooring Repairs or Replacement

Stretch or replace worn carpet
Clean or re-grout tile
Consider LVP if budget allows

Old flooring is a deal killer

5. Boost Curb Appeal

Clean landscaping (remove weeds, trim plants)
Add fresh rock/mulch
Paint front door

\tFirst impressions happen in seconds

6. Update Lighting & Fixtures

Replace outdated lights, fans, faucets
Use modern finishes (black, brushed nickel)

\tCheap upgrade that modernizes the whole \t\thome.

7. Kitchen Touch-Ups (High Impact, Low Cost)

New cabinet hardware
Clean or paint cabinets
Update backsplash if needed

\tYou don’t need a full remodel—just a refresh

8. Bathroom Refresh

Re-caulk tubs/showers
Replace mirrors/lighting
Ensure everything looks clean and bright

\t Bathrooms sell homes (or kill deals)

9. HVAC & Major Systems Check

Service AC (critical in Phoenix 🔥)
Replace filters
Provide maintenance records

\t Buyers WILL ask about the AC

10. Roof & Exterior Repairs

Fix broken tiles or leaks
Patch stucco cracks
Repair gates/fencing

\tPrevents inspection issues and \trenegotiation
