Getting the House Ready to Sell...Remove the Clutter!

The kitchen is a good place to start removing clutter, because it is an easy place to start. Everyone loves the kitchen - this is usually where the entertaining starts so people naturally migrate to this part of the home...so the kitchen means everything to homebuyers!
First, get everything off the counters. Everything. Even the toaster. Put the toaster in a cabinet and take it out when you use it. Find a place where you can store everything in cabinets and drawers. Of course, you may notice that you do not have cabinet space to put everything. Clean them out. The dishes, pots and pans that rarely get used? Put them in a box and put that box in storage.
You see, homebuyers will open all your cabinets and drawers, especially in the kitchen. They want to be sure there is enough room for their "stuff." If your kitchen cabinets, pantries, and drawers look jammed full, it sends a negative message to the buyer and does not promote an image of plentiful storage space. The best way to do that is to have as much "empty space" as possible. Remember - buyers are not buying your house they are buying your home!

Good luck!
