We are considering selling our house. There are some major projects (i.e.
putting a bedroom and additional bath in the basement) and some minor prouects
(i.e. calking, painting, etc.) that we are considering doing to up the resale
value of the house.

I was wondering if there is an information source that I can read to get advice
on what should be done. In other words, what should we focus on to get the
biggest bang for our buck??

Little details. Paint, caulk, clean. Minor landscaping such as mulch
and annuals. Replace cracked fixtures, broken window panes, etc.
Make sure all lights work, clean the stove, oven and refrigerator.
Take care of major repairs only if they significantly impact the
salability. In otherwords, repairing air conditioning that doesn't
work, but not adding central air if you had none.

And your information source? Your broker, of course.
