Clear the decks.  Cut everything in half.  Downsize your furniture, it will make your space look larger.  We all have too much on our kitchen and bathroom counters, too many books and too many family pictures.  Start packing up and sending things to storage. 

If you can't afford to rent a storage unit, it is ok to use your garage for storage.  This is a great space for storing boxes as you pack you them.  Just make sure that it is well organized, neat, and tidy.

Touch up paint and clean baseboards can go a long way when selling your home.  Some rooms may need a full paint job.  Keep the colors neutral.

Nothing turns a buyer off like carpet stains and pet odor.  A good carpet cleaner is invaluable when preparing your home.

If there are repairs that you know need to be done, get them done now.  A home that is well cared for can expect top dollar.

A fresh and inviting front door make a good first impression.

Remove any junk from the property, trim the trees and bushes, remove any dead plants.

Curb appeal is important.  Make your home stand out with some pretty blooms.

Odors are BAD!  Nothing puts a buyer off like bad smells.  Make sure that your home smells good.  Take the garbage out daily.  Use Scentsy plug ins for a nice additional smell without the candle.  You can buy them HERE

Leave lights on, blinds open, and some soft music playing for showings.
