What should I do inside my home to get it ready to sell?

• Clear all unnecessary objects from furniture throughout the house. Keep decorative objects on

the furniture restricted to groups of 1, 3, or 5 items. In general, a sparsely decorated home helps

the buyer mentally move in with their own things.

• Rearrange or remove some of the furniture in your home, if necessary. Many times home owners

have too much furniture in a room. When it comes to selling your home, thin out overcrowded

rooms to make the rooms appear larger.

• Clear all unnecessary objects from the kitchen countertops. If it has not been used for three

months, put it away! Clear refrigerator fronts of messages, magnets, pictures, etc.

• In the bathroom, remove any unnecessary items from the countertops, tub, shower stall and

commode top. Keep only the most necessary cosmetics, brushes, perfumes, etc., in one small

group on the counter. Coordinate towels in one or two colors only.

• Take down, reduce, or rearrange pictures and objects on walls. Patch and paint all walls, if

necessary.

• Review the house interior, room by room, and:

1. Paint any room needing paint.

2. Clean carpet and draperies that need it.

3. Clean windows.

• If you need room to store extra possessions use the garage or rent a storage unit.

• During showings turn on ALL lights and lamps.
