Todays Top Tip for Selling Your House
Clear the Clutter!
If you want to sell your house, this point can not be over emphasized! For every year you live in your house, you will collect a closet full of stuff!
Ten years - ten closets! What's worse, is if all that stuff is out for everyone to see! Knick knacks, small appliances, dog toys, childrens toys, collectibles, that old moose head!
Clear the counters, clear the bookshelves, clear the clutter! Take small appliances and knick knacks off kitchen counters. Clear basement steps of all the stuff stacked there because some day you were really going to bring it downstairs. Pack all 450 miniature gnomes (or whatever it is you collect) into a box for your new home! Same with all the photo's on the walls.
Why, you ask? The buyer needs to be able to visualize his or her own belongings in the house, and if there is not a spare space on a shelf or wall, they will likely perceive the rooms to be too small because they can not envision placing their own belongings.
This is a critical and often overlooked step. Trust me, your house will appear neater, cleaner and bigger without the stuff ...and it will very likely sell faster, too!
