Generally, new flooring and paint give you the most bang for the buck, assuming they are something of an eyesore right now. If they're not, then painting kitchen cabinets with new quartz countertops goes a long way.

If your agent has a professional-grade camera and skills, and the house has good natural light, that's a good start. For houses without the best natural lighting, professional photographers usually have more lighting equipment, and you will notice the improvement more.
