2. Deep Clean From Top to Bottom
Clean windows, floors, baseboards, and fixtures until they shine.
Hire professional cleaners for carpets or tough jobs.
Make kitchens and bathrooms spotless, they matter most to buyers.

Makeup touchups to walls and trim for a fresh, move-in-ready feel.
4. Boost Curb Appeal
Mow the lawn, trim landscaping, and plant fresh flowers.
Power wash walkways and repaint the front door if needed.

5. Stage for the Dallas Buyer
Arrange furniture for open flow and highlight your home’s best features, like fireplaces, big windows, or built-ins.
Add fresh, neutral accessories and muted paint tones for a modern look.
Use pops of color (pillows, art, flowers) to energize spaces.
6. Get a Pre-Listing Inspection
Uncover small issues early and fix them before buyers visit.

Update flooring, lighting, and fixtures if budget allows but skip over-personal upgrades. instagram
