Preparing Your Property For SALE

Our goal is to simplify, depersonalize, and de-clutter your home in order for it to show large and brighter,
giving a more spacious feeling to potential buyers. Many items will need to be removed to storage and
packed for moving. This is important and should be considered as merely giving you a head start on the

Ask yourself. Is there anything inside or out that “will

wait until you sell.

Think positive. You are going to sell the house and
move. Start packing small things up now. When the
house sells, you will be glad you prematurely packed
and it will make the house look great.

Keep it simple. Nothing should touch the floor unless
it’s a piece of furniture. Remove all baskets, luggage,
