Look At these suggestions:
How about writing a one-page letter detailing non-so-obvious benefits you've enjoyed while living at your home. I'll print it on some fancy paper or put it on our website.

Furniture can leave an imprint in the carpet. When this happens you can put medium-sized ice cubes in the tracks. When the ice melts, the compacted carpet will expand and erase those imprints.
Do you need design ideas? Visit Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, or Williams-Sonoma. You may already have what you need to look absolutely in style.
Get to know the neighborhood and what's for sale. How does your home stack-up against other dwellings? Don't forget that the consumer always picks the highest value.
