Advice for Sellers – They Are Looking Behind Every Door!
When listing your home to sell, you should take some time to make sure your home will show in its best light. De-cluttering is the biggest task at hand and is very important to getting your home sold fast and for the right price.
As you are organizing the stuff in your home, be sure to take some time to work on the pantry and kitchen cabinets. Buyers will open those doors for a look inside. Especially pantries!
Think about the shelves at the grocery store. All of the products are faced with the labels facing out and everything is in its own section. You won’t find a can of cream of mushroom soup hanging out randomly with the peas.
I have noticed the smiles on buyers’ faces when they open the pantry and find everything organized and nicely arranged by product. Many times, I have heard comments from buyers about how organized the seller is and how they must have cared nicely for the home.
An organized pantry also sends the message that it is adequate in space. No one wants to open a pantry door and have a bag of marshmallows fall to their feet. If your stuff doesn’t fit nicely in the pantry then it is time to purge.
Remember, buyers will open every door. Knock their socks off!
Need some tips to organize your pantry?
Take everything out of the pantry and throw out expired items.
Group items by product type before re-loading the pantry.
Insert stackable shelves for smaller items (like soup cans).
Face all labels to the front.
Take items out of bulky boxes and put them in containers.
Put seldom used items at the top of the pantry.
Only buy what you have room for.
