First step - the house needs to be squeaky clean and decluttered with obvious minor repairs addressed. You'd be surprised how important that is to home shoppers - they want to feel like the home is well maintained. Next - paint the whole interior the same color - off white. Ask your painting store which color is most popular with local designers. A flooring refresh can do wonders for updating a home. Consider a mid-grade Luxury Vinyl plank in a light color. Updated light fixtures are also a good bet.
