Families come in all shapes and sizes. Whether they are constant or fluctuate they have to fit into our home.
Some of us work from home so we fit our job into the space available as well.
We can get very creative as we fit everything and everyone into a home.
When it comes time to sell this home, remember, you are selling a house not your home.
You are selling a product to a stranger who does not have your memories or experience with the house.
You need to show off the square footage available at its best.
This may mean:
- removing the extra cots used for naps in your daycare.
- folding up the camp cot in the office that your step child sleeps on when they visit.
- cleaning out the home office so that it looks larger.
- getting the computer station out of the master bedroom.
- using the spaces as the builder intended so that the buyer can see all the features of the house.
- re-arranging the furniture for good traffic flow instead of good TV viewing.
- putting back closet doors you removed because they were inconvenient.
- taking the change table out of the hall.
- removing those Toon decals the kids put up in the foyer.
- clearing off the small appliances you store on top of the kitchen cabinets.
- placing all those shoes, boots and coats left in the foyer into the closet.
- storing the many pet toys and accessories while you sell.
- finding a dog sitter for Fido while you are at work.
- clearing out the basement storage areas.
- making room for the car in the garage.
It's time to turn your home back into a house, a product ready for inspection.
