HINTS FOR SELLERS:
Update Cabinets: One of the quickest, most affordable ways to update the appearance of a kitchen or bathroom is to up all the know and drawer pulls.

But before you head out to buy the new hardware, remove the existing pulls an d carefully note their size and screw positions. If you can’t find replacements for the old ones, look for ones that have a back plate to cover up the old holes.

Before installing the new hardware, give the doors and drawer faces a good scrubbing

KEEP DOORS CLOSED:
Most kitchen cabinet doors have self closing hinges, but one the leaf springs inside the hinges fail. Rather that replacing the hinges, simply install a double-roller catch.

An even easier alternative is a magnetic catch. Substitute the magnetic piece for the roller.
