1. Plan Ahead

It is vital that you make a great game plan before you sell your house. Here are a few steps you should take:

• Go through each room and criticize it as a potential buyer would. Find the flaws and fix them.
• Consider getting a home inspection done to see if any repairs are needed. You want a buyer’s negative checklist to be as short as possible, so it is important to complete all necessary repairs and maintenance.
• Hire a contractor to tackle major projects.

2. Clean, De-clutter and Depersonalize

Deep clean your entire home. Don’t forget to:

• Scrub all of your floors.
• Deep clean kitchen and bathroom cabinets.
• Steam clean the carpets and drapes. Replace the carpet if the stains are too prominent.
• Get rid of all the dust bunnies and cobwebs.
• Repair any cracks and holes in the walls.
• Clean your backyard and pool area.

De-clutter your house. Sell, donate or trash anything you don’t need. It’s important to:

• Organize closets and cabinets to make them look open and inviting.
• Remove rugs to highlight hardwood floors.
• Maximize your space by removing oversized furniture and by re-arranging remaining pieces.
• Put away all small appliances, toys, magazines and pet items.
• Clean out the garage and store most items offsite.

You also need to depersonalize your home. You can do this by:

• Removing family photos, personal collections and medications.
• Painting interior walls with neutral colors. Use beige cream or light pastels for bedrooms and living spaces. Pale blues and greens are good color choices for bathrooms.
