Step One: Don’t Panic

This is by far the most important step in the process. If you allow yourself to get frazzled, it will show in your house. And we all know that first impressions are key. take a deep breath, have a cup of tea (or something stronger), and remind yourself that this is only temporary. Everything will be just fine.

Step Two: De-Clutter

We know, we know. This seems like an obvious one. But you’d be surprised at how many people try to sell their homes without de-cluttering first. Buyers want to be able to picturing themselves living in your home, and it’s hard to do that when every surface is covered in stuff. So take a weekend and go through your things. Donate what you don’t need and pack away anything that is personal to you. You want buyers to be able to see your home as their future home, not yours.

Step Three: Clean, Clean, Clean

Once you’ve de-cluttered, it’s time to give your home a good deep cleaning. Again, you want buyers to be able to to visualize themselves living there, and that’s hard to do when they’re dodging dust bunnies and hypothetical roach motels. So break out the vacuum and mop, and get ready to scrub! Pay special attention to the kitchen and bathrooms, as these are usually the areas that potential buyers focus on the most.

Step Four: Let There Be Light

Open up those curtains and turn on all the lights! A well-lit room looks bigger and brighter and therefore more inviting. You want buyers to feel like they could live happily ever after in your home, so do everything you can to make it look bright and welcoming.
