One of the easiest and most important things to do when selling your home is to deee-clutter, or simplify. This may seem like a daunting task, but once you start is moves along quickly.
Begin with one room and work your way through your home. I usually recommend starting with the closet and work your way out. Make a pile of things you no longer need. You can either donate to your local Salvation Army or have a garage sale. This chore will make packing much easier.
What else should you remove? Start with personal photos, stacks of books, and nick knacks. You want your buyer to imagine themselves living in your home. Your personal items will make that harder . Your kitchen counters should be sparse with only a few decorative items.
Need more space? Look around and see if you have too much furniture. Removing a chair, extra table, or even a leaf in your dining table will open up the space.
The idea is to make your home feel staged. If you need a fresh pair of eyes, ask a friend or your Realtor to give you their opinion.
You will be surprised how much you can do once you get started. Good luck!
