STAGING YOUR HOME
Turn on a/c or heat Open drapes
Create Spaces A general rule; pack up anything you are not going to use in the next 30 days Put it neatly in the garage or in storage Clear halls and stairs of clutter Store surplus furniture Clear kitchen counter and stove Clear closets of unnecessary clothing Put away excessive family photos, so buyer can envision the house as theirs
Maintenance Consider getting a pre-selling whole house inspection Repair leaking faucets and toilets Clean furnace and filters Tighten door knobs and latches Repair cracks in plaster Apply a fresh coat of paint or touch up where necessary Clean and repair windows Repair seals around tubs
