5 Things To Do Before You Sell Your Home

1.  Get Rid Of Any Extra Furniture

This means that any furniture that doesn't serve a real, functional purpose needs to go.  It can be sold, or just in storage, but it needs to get out of the house.  You want as much of your space shown as you can.

2.  Hide The Toys

Before taking any listing photos or showing your house, hide the toys.  Unless there is a designated area used as a playroom, toys need to be hidden.  Buyers want the spaces they are looking at to feel fresh, clean and grown up.

3.  Open Doors

Be sure to open all of your interior doors before taking photos and showing your house.  In photos, it helps the photos flow together so that the potential buyers can understand the layout of the home more easily.  When showing, you don't want any big surprises.  The potential buyers need to be able to easily walk from one room to the next.

4.  Turn on lights

When showing your home, turn on all of the lights before you leave.  This is especially the case if your house has light switches in strange places.  The last thing you want the potential buyers to do, is search for your light switches.  By having the lights on, it makes the home feel brighter and more cozy.

5.  Good Smells

The smell of your home will be one of the very first things that the potential buyers register in their brains when looking at your home.  Be sure it is a good smell!
