Have you wondered how to manage living in your house while it’s on the market?
If only we could manipulate time and make everything come together so we wouldn’t need to live in our houses while they’re listed right? Unfortunately, I don’t think technology has gotten there yet. Until it does, here are some tips for managing occupying the space you’re trying to sell.
1. Start packing now
Start the packing as soon as you can, not only will this leave you with less stress when the move date arrives, it will help wrap up the selling process quickly.
2. Clear out everything you can
By removing items from around your home, packing is faster, but it also makes the space feel more open, more inviting and most importantly, cleaner.
3. Be squeaky clean
Having a clean, bright home makes a world of difference in showings and even selling price!
4. Be safe
When your house is on the market, you will want to maintain your privacy and security. Removing any valuables and personal belongings like photos will not only help you feel safer but will give the potential buyers space to imagine themselves in the house.
5. Involve your family
Getting everyone onboard with helping will make the process a lot easier. From packing to cleaning, if you have kids, maybe see if you can make it a game or competition. You can even invite friends over to help you clear out things or pack!
