You have purged through all the rooms in your house (don’t forget the closets) and separated and packed the items you want to save and taken them to storage. You have given unwanted items to Charity or recycled and called the trash collector for that extra pick up. 

Now you can see your walls and trim. If you have strong or out of date colors or wallpaper it is best to neutralize.  This does not necessarily mean white walls.  A soft cream or linen color or even a light taupe will highlight your furnishings.  A neutral color is most likely to please a buyer since most buyers do not want to have to paint or redecorate because of the busy lifestyles we all lead today.  The trim should be painted a crisp white.  If it is already white, dust and clean and re-caulk along stairs.

You are now making progress towards getting the best price for your home without spending a lot of money.
