The entryway: When it comes to pricing your home, don't underestimate the importance of first impressions! The entryway is the first thing that potential buyers will see when they come toThis is the first thing that potential buyers will see when they come to your home, so you want to make sure it looks welcoming and inviting. Add a fresh coat of paint, some potted plants, and a new doormat.

The living room: This is usually the largest room in the house and it's where potential buyers will spend the majority of their time. Make sure that the furniture is arranged in a way that looks inviting and spacious. Add some throw pillows and blankets to make it look cozy!

The kitchen: Kitchens sell houses, so make yours stand out by clearing out the clutter and updating the hardware. And please, please, please, make sure it’s clean!This is another important room that potential buyers will focus on. declutter the counters, clean the appliances, and make sure the floors are spotless.

Focus on curb appeal. First impressions matter so make this one count. Consider pressure washing, fresh paint on doors and shutters, replacing house numbers, and a new mailbox. And of course, clean out the flowerbeds, spread fresh mulch, and plant some seasonal flowers.

Reduce furniture to a minimum. Too much or too big furniture will make your rooms look small and choppy. Arrange the furniture in a way that makes each room feel spacious, homey, and easy to navigate. 

Depersonalize your home. Remove all the family photos, keepsakes, refrigerator art, toys, and personal items in the bathroom. You want the buyer to easily envision themselves in your home — not you in your home.

Think pleasant, but not overpowering smells. You could beautifully stage your home, but if a potential buyer is overwhelmed by a bad (or bad to them) smell, it’s over. The smell of clean is often enough, but if you’d like, consider a mildly-scented candle — and make sure you’ve taken out the trash!
