Step 4: Depersonalize + Minimize

Depersonalize + Minimize


Now that we have gone over my services and paperwork, it’s time to get to work.


If you’ve opted for a service package that includes a staging consult, this is when that will take place.


For others, you can take the Home Enhancement Checklist I gave you at our initial consultation and go room-by-room and follow the suggestions.

Here are the basics:


Tidy Up:

When a home appears cluttered, buyers can’t “see” the home or its potential. By storing items you don’t need or use, your home will feel more inviting to potential buyers. When selling a home, less is more!


Clean Up:

A clean home gives the impression that it has been well cared for. Strive to make your home visually and aromatically appealing.


Patch Up:

Minor repairs often become major stumbling blocks for potential buyers. Take away those distractions by fixing minor issues before they become major.


Once you have finished depersonalizing and storing unneeded items from your home, you'll be ready for the next step!
