     It is preferable to properly prepare your home before listing it for sale. All homes will eventually find a buyer no matter what, but if you prefer not to wait around for months to receive an offer, do the necessary "little touches" that will help sell your home in the least time and at the best possible price. Of course some of the fix-ups will require up front expense , such as painting, refinishing worn woodwork, cleaning the carpets and repairing broken fixtures and appliances. Other little eye-pleasing improvement may cost absolutely nothing, but with a little elbow grease and time, it will make a big difference in getting a sale.
