Spring Cleaning-Getting Your Home De-Cluttered

By
Real Estate Agent with Long & Foster Real Estate
Its that time of year again, the spring cleaning season is upon us, providing an excellent reason to get your house in tip top shape and perfectly presented to potential buyers. Here are some top tips on how to present your home for sale...

1. De-clutter

A house filled to the brim is a major turn off for any buyer, and it makes rooms look much smaller. Empty each room of non-essential items and have a few non intrusive accessories dotted around the house. Also remove personal items, such a photographs, prized DVD collections and children's paintings. These distract potential buyers as well as making it harder for them to imagine the property as their own.

2. Clean

All you're de-cluttering will be completely wasted if the house is not clean. A clean house shows you take pride in your house and look after it, which will reassure the potential buyer that your home has been taken care of and is a sound investment. Thoroughly clean your home when it goes on the market and keep dusting, hovering and washing daily to keep it in top condition.
