De-personalize
the House
The reason you want to
"de-personalize" your home is because you want buyers to view
it as their potential home. When a potential homebuyer
sees your family photos hanging on the wall, it puts your own brand on
the home and momentarily shatters their illusions about owning the
house. Therefore, put away family photos, sports trophies, collectible
items, knick-knacks, and souvenirs. Put them in a box. Rent a storage
area for a few months and put the box in the storage unit.
Do not just put the box in the attic,
basement, garage or a closet. Part of preparing a house for sale is to
remove "clutter," and that is the next step in preparing your
house for sale.
