"Take a hard look at each room and pack up anything you won’t need for the next few months."

Next, make sure your home is spic and span. By decluttering and cleaning your home, it will look much bigger and brighter. Also, keep in mind that when a buyer sees a dirty home, they’ll likely assume that it’s not been well-maintained. You don’t want to give them any reason to look elsewhere, so help your home shine by polishing the hardware (doorknobs, cabinet handles, etc.) and scrubbing the grout.

After that, consider finishing any home repair projects you may have started. Also, verify that all structural and/or mechanical items in the home are in working order, such as your air conditioning and water heater units. 

Additionally, if your home hasn’t had a fresh coat of paint in a while, you might consider repainting. Although you may really like your purple kitchen, prospective buyers may not. These are all great tips for the inside of your home, but you should also think about creating a great first impression on the outside. This leads me to my last tip: Boost your home’s curb appeal.
