Each room should be featured and decorated for the original purpose that it was created.

What not to do.

An average 3 bedroom house where one is now used as a TV room, one functioning as the Home Office and of course the Master. Not a great way to show a 3 bedroom home when selling, BUT, one great way to maximize the space for you in a redesign once we move you into your new home.

Make sure items are placed in appropriate spaces. One homeowner had a crock pot, electric fry pan and other small kitchen appliances stored on the shelves in the laundry room. This screams that the kitchen cabinetry and storage space is insufficient.

Too many pots & pans -
pack what you don’t need now.

Doing this simplifies the move later.

If your home has a garage it will be listed with a garage. Purge it. Using it as storage space also states the home is not large enough, doesn’t have enough closets or storage space.

Don’t give potential buyers any reasons to
walk away from your home.

Maximize your space.

De-personalize your home. Remove all the kid’s photos, awards and wedding pictures. I know you are thinking I’m really mean - Here’s the scoop – looking at your family legacy doesn’t make potential buyers feel that they can live in your home when it’s all about you. Remember, we can recreate all those memories when we move you into your new home.

Let’s just make them fall in love

with your home and pay top dollar.

You likely have more than enough neutral pictures around the house that you could move a few when you patch the holes and paint. If you do not need to paint replace personal pictures and decor with items that can appeal to almost anyone. This allows them to visualize how they can incorporate their personal items into the home.

This also works with furniture. Less is more. Keep only the furnishings necessary to show how each space works and can function for a potential buyer.

And for painting – you’ll have to wait for part 2 Moving and Preparing your home for sale.
