Try Home Staging

Staging a house means decora`ting and/or furnishing the interior and exterior of the home so that it is visually attractive to the widest range home buyers. Just because the arrangement of your house perfectly suiats your needs doesn't mean that it will appeal to most potential buyers. Buyers are greatly influenced by their first impression of the house - if they're turned off at first sight, they're less likely to buy. Potential homeowners that come through your door expecting a particular style might be quickly turned off if the house is cluttered or eccentrically decorated. Uncommonly decorated homes might cause a potential buyer to turn away. Reciprocall`y, a more neutral décor is likely to give a buyer a positive first impression.

Get Rid of Clutter - Less is Better

If you have too much décor, belongings and furniture in your house, it will make each room look smaller than it actually is. For example, simply removing one piece of furniture, like a bookcase in the living room, will make the room appear less cluttered and larger. It's important to remember that "less is better." Home buyers are looking for ever larger homes. Making your home appear bigger will increase the overall appeal of your home. In the kitchen, clear off all the countertops -- at the most, you might only leave the coffeemaker sitting out. This way you show that there are plenty of cupboards for everything and that there is sufficient counter space.
