DE - PERSONALIZE

Let's let the potential buyers picture THEIR family living in your house.

• Remove all pictures and anything specific to your family from walls.
• Remove all family pictures in frames on your furniture
• Remove any seasonal decorations, as this will "time stamp" our photos.
• Put all your personal Bath Items in an accessible box.

DECLUTTER

Show off the SPACE you have.

• Purge whatever you are not bringing with you to your next chapter
• Pack. Start packing all your non-essentials, label totes and boxes as you go (you will thank yourself later)
• Clear off all your kitchen counters, coffee tables, dressers and nightstands.
• Depending on our consulation, consider renting a storage unit for furnture or items that may take up a lot of space.

ORGANIZE

Make your life easier during the time your house is being shown.

• Organize your closets.  Pack seasonal clothing, and showcase the space.
• Label all boxes and totes that you've packed for easy accessibility for when you move.
• Create a "catch all" basket for your living areas, for quick cleanups before showings.

REPAIR

Fix what you can now.

• Repair anything that was discussed during our consultation.
• Address anything that could easily be fixed such as a leaky faucet or a jammed drawer.
• Depending on our consultation, paint any loud colors in your home to a neautral pallet.
• Clean up the area around your tub or shower with fresh caulking.

CLEAN

First Impressions are EVERYTHING.

• Deodorize.  Especially if you smoke or have pets.  Harsh smells can turn buyers off and/or they may have allergies to your pets or smoke.
• Steam clean and vaccum carpets, mop floors.
• Dust and wipe down surfaces.
• Avoid using very fragrant cleaners, as this may turn off buyers as well.

CURB APPEAL

Make your home inviting.

• Cut and maintain your lawn.
• Trim shruberies and/or bushes around the home.
• Powerwash the exterior.
• Clean out gutters and get rid of debri.
• Stage your backyard, arrange furntiure to create a welcoming space.
