Quick Seller Tip: Take down All Personal Items and Photos
Thursday, April 10th, 2008As much as you want to feel like you are still at home while your home is on the market, many experts would agree that it is not a good idea. Take down and pack all personal memorabilia and photos, and store them in the garage, basement, or attic.
Besides eliminating clutter from the home which is more attractive to buyers, it will also take the emotional aspect out of it too. Walking them by the Family Hall of Fame will only make them feel like they are “taking” your home away from you, or “kicking” you out of the home that belongs to you. Buyers want this to be their home, not yours, so do yourself a favor and take it all down.
This will also help ease your pain of selling the home you have lived in and loved for so long. The benefits are on both sides of the fence.
