I don't have a master list of what improvements you should, and should not, make before you sell your home... but most improvements you might consider are probably worth discussing before you spend time and money making the improvements.

Some of the questions we will be asking ourselves about each improvement will be...

[1]  What does this improvement cost and how much will it potentially increase the sales price of your home?

[2]  Will nearly every buyer want to make this improvement and who much will they estimate it would cost compared to the actual cost of the improvement?

[3]  Will making this improvement elevate your home into a different price bracket?

[4]  Does every other home comparable to your home already have this improvement completed?

[5]  Does the lack of making this improvement significantly affect the overall impression a buyer will have of your home?

Again... there isn't a universal list of "do this" and "don't do this" -- but before you start making a LOT of improvements and/or before you decide to make ZERO improvements, let's walk through your house together and discuss the best strategy for how to improve your home before selling it.
