AI summary

With the spring house-hunting season here, preparing your home is key to a successful sale. Focus on creating emotional appeal for buyers, starting with strong kerb appeal by tidying your entrance, garden, and exterior.

Inside, perform a radical declutter and a deep clean. Address minor repairs, touch up paint, and stage rooms to create balance and flow. Add finishing touches like fresh flowers to help buyers envision their life there. Finally, seek feedback from friends and agents.
