The #1 compliant from real estate agents and home shoppers, who show or tour your home, is a lack of cleanliness.    

Cleanliness also happens to be the hardest part of staging your home to Sell.   If you have children and animals, you undoubtedly know what I am talking about.  I find spills and messes at my house within minutes after cleaning up.   Although keeping your home in Show Condition is Difficult at Best… Make a Pact with the Family and be Diligent about it Until your Home is Sold.

The best way to get started is with a deep cleaning.  Wash the windows, the drapes, the linens and scrub the kitchen spotlessly clean.  Scour appliances and don’t forget the range hood and refrigerator top.  Pack any items you don’t have to use and make the kids pack up the toys that aren’t essential to a happy life.  

Just Do It.   A squeaky clean house not only makes a great impression on your prospective buyer, it is also your hands down advantage over all the foreclosures.   Most of them are dirty, smelly and in serious disrepair.
