Clean the Scene and the Unseen

When selling a home you must remember cleanliness is at the top of every buyers list.

The kitchen and the bathrooms are the two areas that must be beyond clean -they must sparkle!

In the kitchen don't forget to clean inside the cabinets.
This is a good place to edit the contents. If the cupboards are filled to the brim you are sending the message that the house lacks storage.
All appliances should be so clean you could eat off of them, wait.... you know what I mean. Buy new pans for the stove burners. The ones you wrapped in foil just won't do.
Remember to edit the contents of the refrigerator, too. Toss the out-of-date items and keep the leftovers tidy in containers with lids.
Conceal the kitchen trash can. How many model-homes have you seen with a trash can?

I tell clients the bathroom is a room everyone has and uses, but no one wants to think about it!
Make sure the bathroom is model home perfect. Dry out the sinks also make sure the fixtures and glass are spotless. Hide used bath towels in the washer or dryer. Rugs in the bathroom just seem germy to buyers, especially those contour toilet rugs, remove them all for showings. Please, please, pleasssssssssssssse close all toilet seats and lids for showings.

If housekeeping is so not your thing, now may be the time to invest in a housekeeper at least for these two rooms for the duration of the sale of your home.

Don't let cleanliness be the deal breaker with your home, clean the scene and the unseen...
