Depersonalize

Take down family pictures and other pictures that might distract the buyer. Put away all personal items such as trophy's and personal collections. Remove your children's drawings from the fridge. The buyer wants to imagine themselves living in that home, and they need to look past your personal tastes. Make your home feel like a model home. Clean the bathrooms so that there are no personal items in sight. Have a box under the sink where you can put your personal items while showing your home. Your bathroom should be like a hotel bathroom, clean and clutter free. Bedrooms should be free of clutter and closets should be neat. Do not leave your laundry out, put it away and if you do not have time put them in the washer and dryer to hide them. Remember you want to put all of the personal stuff away that you can so the buyer can imagine your home as theirs. Also remember if you take down a wall of family pictures, do not leave nail holes patch and paint them. And then where needed add a none personal picture or decoration.
