Answered Questions
There are improvements that give you a huge bang for your buck, like fresh paint and affordable carpet, and ones that do not like all new windows. In my experience, a fully remodeled home gets a premium, unremodeled cosmetic fixers get a lot of attention (mostly from investors looking to flip the property), but partially remodeled homes are often under appreciated. My advice would be if you cannot afford to fully remodel, just make it clean and fresh with fresh paint, new carpet, clean exterior (power wash) and window washing. That way a primary residence buyer will take interest seeing it as move-in ready with no urgent remodeling needs. They can make improvements in the future.
That is a very reasonable concern. REMOVE ALL PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS! They are frequently stolen. Your agent can't be in every room during a busy open house, but ask if they can bring a colleague who can be stationed in the room with the most valuables. Lock up or remove jewelry from the premises.
