What improvements should I make when selling my house?

There is more than one way to sell a house, but most experts agree that spending time on a few basic home improvements can pay dividends. Projects such as resurfacing kitchen cabinets, installing closet storage systems, repainting rooms and hiring a cleaning crew to clean everything from walls and woodwork to carpets and mini-blinds can help sell a home. Other quick fixes that will catch a buyer's eye include freshly trimmed shrubs and trees, new house numbers, a new front door or carefully placed pots of flowers.
