Basements - they're unfinished storage spaces or usable living space. Either way, when showing your home, they need to be presented in the best possible way.
The basement is a common place for a media or family room. Make sure you present them in a clean and uncluttered manner. And if you're fortunate to have natural light in your basement, by all means, make the most of it! Remove any window coverings that block the light. Using a light colored paint on the walls will make the space feel bigger and brighter. A mirror hung on the wall is a great way to spread the light around the room. Adequate lighting is also important, so if the room seems dark, add some lamps.
The garage for most folks is a storage room. The key to making this room appealing to a buyer is organization. If your garage is full of stuff, then the buyer is left with the impression that the home is lacking in storage, so pick up and put away! By getting objects up off of the floor, you instantly create a more organized and spacious room. If you're willing to go the extra step, use some color and creativity to liven up that space.
Now, this is a garage that I can imagine myself spending some time in, and that is your goal when selling your house. If you can make a person picture themselves living in your house, then you'll be on your way to a sell, and a new home!
