How can I improve the appearance of my home in order to raise the asking price?

John Caliendo (Realtor) gives expert video advice on: How can I improve the appearance of my home in order to raise the asking price?

This is such a great question because I deal with this on an almost daily basis. What happens is once you are living in a home, you become very familiar and you no longer see what everyone else sees. It's like putting a painting on a wall and after a short time, you no longer look at that painting again.So what I always say is "Look at your home with new eyes!" Look at it as through the eyes of a buyer, as if for the first time. It's actually a fun experiment. You'll start seeing clutter that you didn't see that was there before. You'll start seeing spots on the carpet that you were not seeing there before. You have to be very true to yourself, you have to snap out of what ever denial is keeping you from seeing all this around you and then correct them, divide and conquer and correct and piece meal.
