The most important thing to do is de-clutter. Paint should be very neutral. As a real estate agent it is a very hard, to tell a client, to get their Teddy Bear collection off the bed and take the moose heads down. Everyone has a different idea, about what is good decoration. No clutter, no knick-knacks, no eye catching anything, would be a good rule for a seller to follow. A buyer wants to move mentally in the house. The buyer cannot move in if there are many visual distractions. As a Realtor of 25 years I myself, catch myself looking at the stuff, not the house. If I am distracted, after seeing 1000's of homes, think about the First Time Home Buyer! Clean and clutter free is the key. Think House Beautiful! Less is better!
