9 Small (But Mighty) Home Updates Agents Recommend Before Listing
Polished Rockville Refresh
This Washington D.C. area-home only needed a few small adjustments to be prepared for the market.
With large windows and an abundance of natural light streaming in, this Rockville home offered a bright and welcoming space for potential buyers. Its downfall was the noticeable wear and tear throughout that was hard for buyers to ignore. To refresh the home and make it look like new once more, we focused on small updates and basic preparations including:
- Interior painting
- Flooring updates
- Exterior updates
After these minor changes were complete, the house was in tip-top shape. The Long & Foster listing agent, Amy Michaels, had happy clients and a stress-free experience with Curbio as her listing partner.
Every house could use a little help before hitting the market. To ensure your listings are in prime condition, let us help with the prep work.

The bedrooms looked a bit dirty and dated so to make them cleaner and fresher, we did work such as:

- Cleaning the carpets

The living room had a great open concept and fireplace, but it was notably worn down. To bring the space back to its former glory, we worked on a variety of projects including:
- Replacing the interior baseboard by the stairs
- Prepping and painting the walls, ceilings, and trim
- Painting the door to the exterior
- Sanding and refinishing the hardwood floors

The lower level of the home had a lot of natural light but there were a few areas needing touchups and cleaning. To freshen up the room, we prepped and painted the walls, ceiling, and trim including replacing drywall and installing baseboards as needed. We also replaced the carpet to make the space look like new.
