Sellers

Start packing away items you don’t currently need; box up your belongings that can be donated or sold, and store them in the garage, basement or attic. When the time comes, there are numerous resources for where these items can go. 

Remove overly personal items from walls, shelves and surfaces around the home. Now may be a uniquely productive time for everyone to pitch in. Find out what’s important to each family member so you know what to keep for the next home.

Not a fun task but you’ll feel great when it’s done. Remove items that can be stored somewhere else and start to gather items for donation. Pack away your winter and fall wardrobes. An organized closet is a turn-on to a buyer.

Choose neutral colors, especially in rooms currently painted with bold colors. Selecting paint colors is not easy. There are ways to make it more simple!

Determine if any need to be replaced or removed all together. Once you have clean window treatments...now you'll be motivated to clean the windows too!

Shred and pitch papers that you no longer need; locate instruction booklets for household items and appliances for the next owner; Put aside the documents from when you purchased the home.
