Well unless your home is a million dollar property don't stress. Here are the basics: Clean, Declutter, Organize, Depersonalize, & finish minor repairs.
Take a walk through the house and think about the following:
The Kitchen: Often this will be a huge selling feature of the house! Keep it clean! That means all appliances, sinks, counter tops & floors. If your looking to make subtle great impression, eliminate all smells with a lemon like scent & organize/face all cabinet & fridge contents forward.
The Living Room: Make this room simple and keep the clutter out. Arrange furniture to accentuate the size. This may not be most convenient for daily use, but will certainly catch a buyers eye. It is also best to depersonalize your home, remove the family pictures. This will allow the buyers to picture themselves in the home and not just you.
Bedrooms: Make these rooms look as big as possible, take out unnecessary items that cramp the room. Make the bed daily, organize your closets & don't leave any clothes out.
*Kid's Bedrooms: Try your best to keep these rooms uncluttered! Arrange all toys in an attractive display to give off a cute kid look. (Don't leave lego lying around)
The Bathrooms: Keep the bathroom clean & uncluttered. Ensure the toilets are closed for showing's. To give it something extra have all towels match. Give it the "hotel bathroom" look.
The Garage: Organize! Many people looking at house's look at the garage as a main attraction. If possible keep all items on shelves or hanging hooks.
These tips may seem minor but they add up to make a great first impression on all buyers.
