to give potential buyers the impression that your home has ample storage. Not sure

where to put all your extra stuff? Consider getting a temporary storage unit.

Depersonalize: Remember, potential buyers want to be able to picture themselves calling your

house home, and that’s hard to do if all they see are family photos, personal items, and keepsakes.

While it might be a bit emotional , take a run through your home and remove the

decor items that make your house feel personally yours.

‌

Erase signs of pets: You may love your cat, but potential buyers may not (or they may have an allergy).

Make sure to clean thoroughly and remove toys, food dishes, and water bowls.

Deep clean: As your mother would say, “Clean like company is coming.” In fact, you may want to go

one step further. Aim to clean to a point where it looks like nobody actually lives in the home: no

smudges on the windows, no dust bunnies on the floor, no water marks on the counters. A clean home

tells potential buyers that you’ve taken great care of the property.
