The most important thing is to look at your home through the eyes of a buyer.  Things that you have learned to live with or overlook may have a negative impact on a potential buyer- SO YOU MUST BECOME THE BUYER!

• Open all blinds and drapes to let the natural light in- be sure the windows are clean.
  
• Turn on all the lights (day or night) and make sure all light fixtures are clean and have the 
    highest wattage bulb that is safe in them.
  
•  GET RID OF CLUTTER!  Anything that you are not going to move, get rid of it now.  Pack 
    away and store out-of-season items and knick-knacks. The less stuff you have, the larger
    your home will feel.
  
•  Clean out and organize all of your closets.  If they are stuffed, buyers will assume that 
     your home does not have enough storage space.
  
•  Keep your home clean.
  
•  Make sure the front entrance area looks its best as buyers walk up- First Impressions Count!
  
•  If necessary, paint rooms a neutral color.  Fresh paint pays big dividends to sellers.
  
•  Keep your lawn mowed, raked and fresh.  Remove all outside clutter and make sure
    everything is clean.
  
•  Play up the assets of your home that you have enjoyed the most.
