FAKE IT

Fake it!
Well, not really...but buy doing the seven steps below, a sellers home will have the illusion that it is bigger than it really is. Home buyers are always looking for a bigger space...so try these simple steps

  • Bedroom: Remove one piece of furniture - an ottoman or a second nightstand. If buyer bumps into furniture while visiting a room, it will be a major turn off.
  • Windows: Take down worn drapes. - Bare windows always make your home look bigger, install some blinds and keep them drawn up.
  • Closet: Empty closets by two thirds to create a plenty-of-storage feel.
  • Den: You can double other people's perception of your home's play space - just pack up and put away half of your kids' toys.
  • Kitchen: Clear small appliances off your counters. By reducing what is on your counters, you are increasing the work space which is what buyers are looking for.
  • Cabinets: Reducing inventory of can and box foods....creating more space in the cabinets.
  • Dining room: Create a feeling of uninterrupted flow by taking out dining-room table leaves and removing all but four chairs
