USA Today: Do your 'homework' before you sell

 Do you sense a revival of the real-estate market in your area?

Has good news on recent home sales persuaded you to put your home on the market this spring?
If so, housing experts urge you to begin soon to prepare your place for the big show. Besides the core improvements you can do yourself, such as purging clutter and in-depth cleaning, real-estate experts say you should identify all of the tasks that need to be done by contractors.
"Too many owners are lulled into thinking they don't need to change anything before selling. They're either cheap, lazy or just don't realize all the work that should be done," says Sid Davis, a veteran real-estate broker and author of "Home Makeovers That Sell" ($15, AMACOM).
