1. Declutter. Clutter makes it hard for potential buyers to visualize themselves living in or having their own stuff in your room. Clear out countertops, store away magazines and newspapers, bulky appliances and furniture.
2. Hire a professional cleaner. A buyer will easily get turned off by a dirty home. A professional cleaning service will be able to clean all those places that you might overlook like ceiling fans, baseboards, and picture frames, among others.
3. Remove personal and family photos. Buyers need to see a neutral wall where they can visualize their own decorations and effects instead of yours. So no matter how cute your kids or pets are in those photos, they would have to be kept away during an open house.
