But first. Clean it good and get rid of excess furniture. Have the interior painted a neutral tone and ask for guidance from friends who are really good with home décor.

AND thoroughly study what other similar homes have sold for recently,( include location and lot in your research,) before you price it.
My experience is that houses listed for sale by owner are almost always overpriced. I don't even bother to waste my time looking at them anymore. As a buyer, the commission is free because the seller pays it and that is the way it should be. So, why waste time looking at houses that are not being marketed by a professional agent? The only exceptions to this are when the market is so hot or your house is so great that the house sells itself.
