KITCHEN & BATH: FOCUS ON HIGH-IMPACT AREAS

The most important rooms in your home are the kitchen
and bathrooms. A kitchen can sell a house because it is the
heart of a home, the place family and friends gather to enjoy
one another’s company. Buyers will be turned off by dirt and
grime, cooking smells, and trash. Clean all cabinet surfaces
as well as under the sink.
