Why Depersonalize?
You have to remove the "you" from your house. Our next email is going to talk about photography, and to make the photos show as well as possible, as much of "you" as possible should be removed.
Items to hide/remove:
- Unsightly or unnecessary furniture to make rooms look more spacious.
- Toys and piles of children's books.
- Personal photos. We'd like to think buyers are not biased toward anyone, but it happens. Also, they want to see themselves in this home, not see another family.
- Remove all items that are personal and not decorative, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. You can put them away in a cabinet, drawer, or travel bag.
Depersonalizing fully before photography is most important. Buyers will be drawn to your house from the photos online, and if they want the home, they will go back-and-back to the online photos in excitement. For day-to-day showings and living, you can put back out toys and children's books, but keep general clutter in kitchens and bathrooms as clear as possible.
Also, be sure to lock up and secure any medications or valuables before anyone tours your home!
Can you live this way for a while? You can, and it isn't forever!
