Preparing to Sell a House

Summary: In this series of free home sales videos, our professional interior designer and home staging expert gives you insider tips on how to get your house ready for the big sale. The first step is to depersonalize your home, take down photos and other personal items which mark the home as your own. This step helps potential buyers to imagine their home as their own rather than yours. Along the same lines, you need to remove the clutter from your bedrooms and bathrooms so the rooms don't seem crowded and overstuffed. If you don't have enough space to store away all of your possessions, then buyers worry that they might not either.

Once your clean-up is complete, our expert tells you how to streamline the presentation of your home by creating a welcoming atmosphere with proper furniture arrangement and friendly color schemes. Always situate your couch facing visitors as they walk into a room. Add plush towels and washcloths to your bathrooms to create an aura of luxury. Put this great advice to use and you will sell your house in no time!
