Tips on preparing your home for sale.

On the inside
Clear all unnecessary objects throughout the house. Keep decorative objects on the furniture restricted to groups of one, three or five items. Clear all unnecessary objects from the kitchen countertops. If it hasn't been used for three months, pack it away. Clear refrigerator fronts of messages, pictures, etc. A sparse kitchen helps the buyer mentally move his or her own things into your kitchen. Rearrange or remove some of the furniture if necessary. Thin out a room as much as possible to make the room appear larger. Take down or rearrange certain pictures or objects on the walls. Patch and paint if necessary. Get the carpets cleaned or replaced.
Showing your house
If possible, have all family members out of the house while a potential buyer is looking through it. Leave on certain lights during the day. During showings turn on all lights and lamps and open all drapes and curtains. Have light music on during the day for a viewing. Pets and their odors turn off many prospective buyers. If possible arrange for the pets to be out of the house during a showing. A simple solution is to put the animals in a laundry room or garage while the home is being shown.
