Evaluate your house:

Take a tour around your house and play as though you are a real estate agent. Look for anything and everything that will make your beloved house undesirable for a buyer. Adopt a critical eye and look over your house from top to bottom, you might need to detached your personal feeling while you are doing this to help you become more objective.

The ceiling fun in your kitchen may look like very nice to you, but to a real estate agent, it makes your kitchen outdated. Consider what may pass to you as "good or average" condition may be "fair or poor" in the Realtor’s perspective.

You can choose to evaluate your house before any listing appointment from a real estate agent in your area. Make the necessary renovations that you see fit in order to raise the value, or you can have the agent evaluate your property during the appointment, and he/she will give you a professional feedback on what improvements are needed to get the top dollar for your property.

Renovate:

After evaluating your house, either by you or by a professional real estate agent – start the renovation process. But before you do, be clear on how much money you are willing, or able to spend on the renovation. This will keep you from over doing renovation and not finishing the task because you run out of money.

Having a set budget for your renovation will also make it easier for you to choose which project is more important than the rest. If your budget is tight, an over all painting is a good start to make your house look updated.
