<human>:  I'm getting ready to sell my house. Can you tell me tips on preparing my home for sale?
<bot>: 
1. Start by decluttering and staging: clear out excess items and furniture and stage each room to make it look as attractive and spacious as possible.
2. Invest in curb appeal: spruce up the exterior of the house by painting, mowing the lawn, and planting fresh flowers.
3. Have a thorough cleaning: hire a professional cleaning service to make sure the house is spotless.
4. Make any needed repairs: take care of any minor repairs or issues, such as broken locks, drippy faucets, or peeling paint.
5. Price it right: research comparable homes in the area and set a price that is fair and reasonable.
