And yes, there are some that can be turn-offs. You never want to personalize your home too much unless you plan on dying in it.

The kitchen is modernized although that was done 10 years ago. Still, it looks better than the only comp she provided that looks very similar to mine. The bathroom (minus the tub/shower) was redone last year. The front porch used to be a concrete top, limestone porch that was starting to crumble and so we replaced it with a nice wooden porch/deck a year ago. At the same time, the sidewalk leading up to it was replaced.
Also regarding garages and the comp I mentioned, mine is twice the size of that one. We have two backyard patios to enjoy. I think those are good selling points but I'm by no means an expert.
