1. Create Space
An uncluttered home looks more spacious which is what most buyers are looking for.
2. Remove Personal Items
A prospective buyer wants to imagine themselves in your home, not feel like an intruder. Remove all personal items such as family photos, knickknacks & stuff on the fridge.
3. Well Maintained
A cluttered home gives an impression that the house has not been well maintained, raising a prospective buyers suspicions of “unseen” damage.
4. Improve Curb Appeal
Smarten up the front garden and verandah/porch area. House hunters often drive by before an open house or organising a viewing.
5. Storage Space
Storage space, partially empty cupboards convey the impression that the house has good storage available – a big selling point for most people
6. Fresh & New
Older or worn furniture items, even if they may be important to you, can make a house seem dated and old. Remove excess furniture too.
7. Clean & Tidy
Decluttering will convey a fresh and clean first impression.
8. Best Features
Too much stuff, makes it difficult to focus on a home’s best features.
9. Versatile Home
Don’t assume buyers will want to use your home the same way you do. If you have a room set up as an office, take the advice of your Real Estate agent if they suggest staging it differently.
10. Getting Organised will save you money
Less clutter means less stuff for you to pack up and move, which will lower your cost of moving to your new home.
