It is best to store them off site. Remember, there’s a place for everything and everything has its place.
3. Paint Interior And Exterior With Neutral Colors. Don’t forget the trim and moldings. Use current color schemes that new home-buyers prefer in today’s real estate market.
4. Update, Repair, And Paint. Kitchen including cabinets. You don’t need to paint the inside but the outside surfaces are a must. Use a light or white color. The light color will also make the kitchen look bigger.
