Put Away Your Personal Pictures & Personalized Decor

I know you love all of those sweet memories scattered around your home, but when it comes time to sell, it’s time to take them down.

For example, now is the time to take down all personal pictures of your family.

When you remove those personal pictures, you’ll make it so much easier for a prospective buyer to fall in love with your home.

Why?  Well… now they can visualize themselves making your home… their own home!

Makes sense, right?

While you’re at it, you can also pull down any other personalized decor that might distract buyers.

And if you need any easy fix to patch those holes, give these DIY Nail Hole Fixes a try!

Home Sellers Should Hide Clutter

Look at some model home pictures, then look at your own home.  Notice anything different?

Yep… those gorgeous models are so appealing because they seem sparse, clean, and enormous!

So what should you do?  It’s simple!

Start boxing up everything that resembles clutter!

Store the boxes and extra furniture in your garage, or if possible, at a storage unit or friend’s home.

Don’t forget your closets!

Your closets need to appear clean and sparse, helping buyers feel like they will have enough space to store their 58 pairs of shoes!! 🙂

Rearrange Your Furniture

The goal is to make your home feel open and spacious, clean and airy.  Consider rearranging your furniture to make it appear more balanced.

Pull furniture back from walls to give the illusion of extra space.

Don’t forget about those rarely used spaces!  You truly want every room of your home to feel as large and appealing as possible.

Every buyer is different and so are their needs.

That forgotten space in your home may just happen to be the most important thing a prospective buyer is looking for.

Clean Everything

Clean Sells, it’s really that simple.

A dirty home will send buyers running.  Enlist the help of your family and clean everything, paying close attention to the kitchen and bathrooms.

Buyers will look everywhere, so don’t forget the places you don’t always look yourself.

Your home is likely your most valuable asset, so don’t be afraid to hire some cleaning help if you can’t do it all yourself.

A clean home translates into a home sold much easier!  Get the job done with these easy DIY Homemade Cleaners.
