In addition, here is a basic home selling tip that nearly every lived-in home must go through without cost:

Decluttering

  • A pristine, spacious property will make it easy for buyers to picture themselves living there. The more they can do this, the quicker it will sell.

  • Decluttering adds 3-5% more value to your home. Clutter will make the property less attractive to buyers – an opportunity to negotiate for less.

Decluttering may seem tedious, but it’s a tip that will reward you tremendously.

We have prepared a step-by-step decluttering checklist just to help you through every corner of your home. From planning to final clean-up, everything you need is right here.
