Eichlers in the San Mateo Highlands
You may ask yourself , do I need to clean my house every minute, move all my furniture out, live in a sleeping bag on the floor.
The answer is no, but you do need to remove the clutter. The reason is, when a buyer comes to view your home you don’t want them looking at your pictures and personal items instead of your home.
Things of clutter to remove are:

  1. Personal pictures
  2. Nick nacks
  3. Extra kitchen utensils and gadgets on the counter tops
  4. Papers laying around
  5. Pictures that have phrasing on them
  6. Remove any extra pieces or over sized furniture
  7. If your able , paint any bright colors to neutral colors

The object is you want your home to be open , clean, and easy for the buyer to visualize moving their stuff in. When the buyers are walking thru , you need their focus on what your home has to offer.

You can always hire a staging company if you wish. Ask your Realtor to provide some staging companies if you choose to go that route.
Happy Selling!
