To speed up the process of selling your existing home, here are five tried-and-true tactics recommended by us to give your home an immediate facelift. They'll cost you a little... except your time, but are sure to bring BIG returns when the FOR SALE sign goes up on the lawn.

Saturday #1 - Tidy it up!

Hold a garage sale to dispose of unwanted and unused furniture and appliances, odds and ends, and generally anything you haven't used in the last five years. Weed out every closet mercilessly (you'll thank yourself when you start packing) and don't forget the garage. Keep only the things you use regularly. Your home will look more organized, more spacious and more inviting.

Saturday #2 - Fix it up!

Take care of all the little maintenance tasks you never seem to have time for. Go through the house, room by room and make a list. Open every door and window, turn on every faucet and check every lamp. Repair leaky faucets, oil squeaky hinges, tighten loose doorknobs, make sure windows and doors open and close smoothly and change the burnt light bulbs.

Saturday #3 - Spruce it up!

It's amazing how much better your home can look with a fresh coast of paint an how much value it can add, for little cost. You don't have to repaint everything, but do consider freshening up the rooms that need it most. Use neutral colours inside. Outside, a gallon of paint of exterior trim, wooden stairs and banisters can also do wonders for your home's appearance. Label leftover paint cans for new owners.

Saturday #4 - Curbside Appeal!

Curbside appeal is a big drawing card for home buyers. Not only is it the first thing they will notice when they arrive, it's the face they'll present to the world if they buy. Mow the grass, trim the hedges, plant some flowers and weed the garden.

Saturday #5 - Clean House!

Now that you have bee through cupboards and removed all the needless clutter, get everyone in the family involved and clean the house from top to bottom. Make sure everything sparkles and ... here's the hard part ... vow to keep it that way! Make sure beds are made and dishes are done before you leave for work in the morning.
