When a potential buy is looking at your home it is important that they are given every opportunity to picture themselves living in your house. And nothing can spoil that image faster than all of your personal items like family pictures, trophies, vacation souvenirs and your favorite knick knacks. So before you put the “for sale” sign in your yard, take some time to go around your house and de-personalize it. Take all of the magnets, photos and “art” off of the fridge. Pack up the wedding pictures in your bedroom. Box up and remove all of the clutter.
Now I know that this is tough because you probably don’t view most of this as clutter. It’s your stuff! A great place to start is in the kitchen. Remove everything from you countertops. Yes, everything! Then attack the cabinets and drawers. If you rarely use certain dishes, pots, pans or gadgets, box them up.
Look, your ultimate goal is to sell the house and move, right? So view this as a chance to get a head start on packing for the move. And so you are not moving clutter from one part of your house to another (like from your kitchen to your garage), why not rent a storage unit for the time being? It is just one more way that you can make your property stand out above all of your competition in this saturated east valley real estate market.
