Usually , if you're going to upgrade your home, the kitchen and master bath are where you want to spend . Before putting it on the market though , make sure to give the entire house a thorough cleaning and maybe a fresh coat of paint if needed.
First comment is very good. Beyond that pack up your personal stuff to decluter the space.

Clean, bright, and everything in perfect working order.
