Now that You are Prepared, it is Time to Get the House Ready!
De-Personalize the House
Yes, it has been your home and it has been the place of many momentious events and occasions. Now you've decided to sell it and it is time to let buyers envision it as theirs. You are now marketing a commodity to an emotionally charged clientele. When a potential homebuyer sees your family photos hanging on the wall, it brands the house as someone elses and blocks their vision of the home belonging to them. Therefore, put away family photos, sports trophies, collectible items, knick-knacks, and souvenirs. Put them in a box. Rent a storage area for a few months and put the box in the storage unit.
A house free of clutter sends positive messages to buyers:
They can readily envision it as theirs
The house "feels" more open and clean
A subliminal signal is sent that the seller is ready to move on and is willing to cooperate.
Do not just put the box in the attic, basement, garage or a closet. Part of preparing a house for sale is to remove "clutter," and that is the next step in preparing your house for sale.
