If you are ready to put your home on the market but you aren't sure how to make it look from old to awesome, there are a few small things that can make a grand difference. You can change the way people look at your home, and create stellar pictures, but tweaking a few things and avoiding construction projects. Talk with the professionals about the following things before you take pictures to list your property.

Landscaping Assistance

People may drive by your home before a showing to check it out, and the you want to pictures of your home to be great. It may be worth having a landscaping company come to treat the grass for weeds, add fertilizer to make the lawn green and plush, and to do some trimming with trees, bushes and other greenery. Ask if they do pressure washing to spruce up the outside, and possibly add some fresh flowers or plants to the porch.

Interior Home Painting

Painting the house will change the look of it, and when you hire professionals you can get more than just the walls done. Talk with the professional interior home painting service to get an estimate on the following:

• Painting ceilings a bright soft white
• Putting a neutral light color on all interior walls
• Updating the trim around the house to white
• Possibly updating wood cabinets and vanities to white

All of these things can make a difference in the appearance of your home, and can make it look much more modern and fresh for a sale.

Professional Cleaning

Purge your home of all the unwanted items you don't need, to make the house seem more spacious to buyers, and then have a professional company come in to clean. They should do the carpets, windows, hardware, floor tiles or wood, walls, and every single surface of the property. This way the house sparkles for pictures and when people walk in, and it also smells fresh.

The better your house looks when people first pull up the drive and enter the front door, the more likely you will be to get a buyer. You want people to see the pictures of the property and be eager to get in, and you want people to see it's a fresh, clean and updated looking space. Talk with a real estate agent if you don't want to list it by owner, to see what other staging suggestions they have and how much you should list it for.
