There some resources you have to option of using to ensure that your garage is in good shape for the people that move in.

Speak with your real estate agent about what works:
He or she may have first-hand insight on whether or not the status of your garage currently will help or harm the selling of your home.

One car vs. two car garage:
The number of cars that one can fit into their garage is sometimes critical to buyers. There are many families that prefer to have a two car garage because this gives them more space for storage.

Hire a garage builder to work on a redesign to help sell your home:
All you might need is just a little bit of a redesigning in your garage. Simply organizing what you already have and adding some paint or shelves to give your garage a more “homey” feel makes a big difference when it comes time to impressing potential home buyers.

Make sure that you are building a garage that stays within zoning:
It is important to be aware of your property and community zoning laws. Zoning is a way for the local government to control the physical development of land and how you use it. Most of the time, zoning laws specify the areas in which construction on your garage may take place.

Make do with what you have:
If you cannot afford to remodel or redesign your garage, your must bet is to work with what you have and make sure that your garage is organized and presentable for people to view it. It is helpful for the space to be clean so that others can envision their belongings occupying it.
