You know you are moving, so now is a good time to get rid of things you do not need to move. Box up and donate items that you can take to second-hand resale stores. Some places will pick up if you have furniture as well as small items. Bag up items you want to send to the trash ans get rid of these as well. Now you only have what you want to move.

Seasonal clothing, pictures, memorabilia, kitchen items, etc. You can designate one room in the house to stack boxes or a space in the garage. Remove as much as you can to open up the house and give it a larger feel. These two steps will now save you time when you sell and are ready to move.

Every room has its sweet spot and we need to find that. Rearrange furniture, remove items that make a room feel smaller than it is, and give buyers the best experience in each room. Staging can make or break a sale.

Now that your home is looking good, take a look at each room and see it as a buyer would. Are there little things you can fix before placing it on the market? Does it need a good cleaning? Fixing small things can make a big difference.

Pictures will absolutely make or break whether your home sells. Be sure your agent has a good photographer that will create the best pictures for you. This is the first thing buyers see when looking for homes and if the pictures are bad they may not even come by for a look.

This is a crucial step. Now that your home is listed, be sure to allow as many showings as possible. As many people as possible need to come through in order to find that perfect buyer.

Now that you have an offer the negotiations get started and wrapped up. Congratulations on getting under contract!

Now is the time for the final packing and getting ready to move to your new home. Congratulations on a job well done!
