Fix sticky doors: Address issues with entrance and interior doors by applying simple remedies like WD-40 to ensure smooth operation.
Refresh landscaping: Enhance curb appeal by cleaning walkways, planting seasonal flowers, and trimming hedges to showcase a well-maintained exterior.
Repair fixtures: Attend to minor plumbing and hardware issues such as leaky faucets or loose drawer handles to leave a positive impression on buyers.
Check smoke detectors: Ensure all smoke detectors have fresh batteries and verify expiration dates for added safety and value during inspections.
