If is hard for most people to look at their homes through the eyes of a buyer.  We live in them and see them every day and sometimes do not see what is right in front of us. When a realtor meets with a seller in their home  they will look at it objectively. Many recommendations are low cost or no cost.  A good starting place is usually in the kitchen by asking the sellers to remove anything they have on top of the fridge or on it.

If you want to look at your own home through a buyers eyes take photographs of the rooms and look at them. It is amazing how many things we notice in a photograph but miss when we walk through a room. Figure out what is wrong with the picture, correct it and take another shot.  Once you are satisfied, a professional photographer will make those pictures look even better!
