De-clutter, De-personalize and Detach 

Remove small decorative items and excess furniture.

Store away family photos and personal and political items.

Create a neutral space for prospective buyers to envision their life in the home.

Paint neutral colors in the home if possible.

Create A Move-In Condition 

Do a walk through and repair or seal small cracks and nail holes in the walls.

Replace old caulking around tubs.

Repair dripping faucets.

Replace non-working light bulbs.

Moving Mindset:

Instead of waiting until the last minute to purge.  Start your packing process early.  If you haven't needed the items in the last 6 months, start packing them away in boxes and store them in the closet or garage.

Purge first. You're moving anyway.  So plan for a garage sale before your home go on the market so you won't have to move with things you don't need.  Donate early.
