Step 1 – De-Personalize Your Home  

Over the years you’ve certainly made a lot of memories in your home including family events or special occasions and the first thing you need to do is de-personalize your home of the memories that you’ve created there over the years.

Start by removing framed pictures from your walls, personal items that you’ve accumulated and special marks that you’ve left on your home like height growth charts to track the growth progress of your children because de-personalizing your home will make it easier for you to move on to your next home when you don’t see special memories around every corner.

Step 2 – Make Your Home a Blank Canvas

Another helpful thing you can do to say goodbye to your old home is to turn your house into a “blank canvas” for buyers by removing wallpaper and painting over the bright colors that you may have painted the walls in your home over the years.

Step 3 – De-Clutter And Stage Your Home to Sell

Last of all, but most important, once you’ve taken the time to paint the inside of your home you should next go through each room in your home to declutter and stage those individual spaces.

What is decluttering? This involves removing the items that you may not have used within the last 3 to 6 months and staging involves removing large pieces of furniture from your home and replacing those pieces with smaller furniture because smaller furniture helps to emphasize space and make a home seem bigger.
