Also organize your closets and take stuff out, people are into closet space and even if you have lot of closets, if they are jammed packed people will get the impression they are not big enough. Getting ready to sell a house can be helpful in forcing you to get rid of things you have been putting off |
House Hunters is a good example or also watch Buying and Selling, they know how to prep a house also.
When we were buying I cannot tell you how many houses I looked at that staged the inside really well but the garage/storage and the back yard looked horrible. They were two things very important to me.
