Will your home reach out and touch the Buyer?
So much of choosing a home is visual. It's that emotional response to what you see that gives you that feeling of 'home'. 
Preparing your home for sale means you walk a fine line between looking like a show home and looking like a home where someone is living comfortably. You must remove enough of yourself to allow the Buyer to imagine living there without making the home feel cold.
The Buyer should be focusing on themselves not your lifestyle during a viewing. Remove those family photos and any large collection.
Make sure the traffic flow through the house is comfortable.
Each room should open up for them as they enter. The focus of a sitting room should not be on the TV but on conversation.
Show them where they can eat as a family or with guests on a special occasion.
If you're selling a family home, make sure the children's bedrooms bring out that 'oh wouldn't my Mary love this room!' feeling.
The master suite should evoke a feeling of peace and retreat from the world. After all that's where the Buyer is going to sleep. You can even leave that smaller TV because let's face it many people like to have a set in their room and want to know where to put theirs.
If your home can reach out and touch the buyer on an emotional level and is move-in ready, your home will say 'Im home' to more Buyers.
