Give your house that un-lived-in look



How many family photos are in your living room? Go ahead, count them. You need to know how big a box you’ll need to pack them up.
That’s right. Clear them out before prospective buyers start walking through your house.

It’s not personal

You’ve probably heard about how to stage your home for sale – plant flowers, give rooms a fresh coat of paint, etc. But an important part of staging is also de-personalizing your house. That means choosing neutral paint colors when you touch-up rooms, removing posters from the kids’ bedrooms, packing up collections you may have on display, and storing family photos.
You want buyers to see your property as their own, a place they can add their personality and make memories.

Maybe it’s time to go pro

It can be hard to look at your home objectively. Those photos of your wedding, your kids, your parents – maybe even your in-laws – are associated with such strong positive feelings. Who wouldn’t love them, right?
If you’re having trouble turning your house into a clean slate, ask a trusted friend to offer an honest assessment. Or consider contacting an expert like a Texas REALTOR®, who can give you tips about all aspects of preparing your home for sale.
Don’t distract buyers. Let them focus on the features of the home, not how you’ve decorated it.
Plus, think of how easy it’ll be to dust the mantle without all those frames in the way.
