Preparing your home for sale is one of the best things you can do to get top dollar for your property. Think of what you would want to see in a home when you are looking to buy. Things like, staging, clean surfaces, fresh paint on the walls, new floors (or fresh floors), proper lighting, clutter free, and so much more. These are things you should be doing in your home before you put it on the market.

1. Declutter
The very first thing you should do to prepare your home for sale is to get rid of clutter. This will open the space in your house, show off how large the countertops are, and most importantly depersonalize your home. Take down the family pictures, take down any of the collections you have (ie, coin collection), and stage the room. Every room should be neutral, giving the buyer the chance to envision themselves in that room.
There are more benefits to decluttering your home. One being, you will have less things to move to your new home, making packing an easier challenge. You can hold a garage sale and make a few dollars off of the items you do not want any longer, and you showcase your house in better light when there aren’t piles of toys and papers everywhere.
