Taking some time to consult a seasoned Realtor a few months before selling your house can really pay off by making you money and saving your valuable time.  Many sellers spin their wheels performing unnecessary renovations that add little to no value to their house, all of which could be avoided with some smart prioritization of time, resources and energy.  Before you blanket the walls of your house in neutral colors, set up a consultation with your Realtor to decide which renovations will really pay off big and help you stand out when you put your house on the market.
