Properly staging a home makes it easier for buyers to visualize when a house meets their expectations, while a lack of staging could mean that a buyer is unable to see themselves in your home.
Cleanliness is next to..sold?
Declutter, duh?!
On top of cleaning, don't forget to declutter. Absolutely remove what you feel will make the home feel claustrophobic like the stack of boxes in the corner? Get rid of it. If there are a few too many throw pillows on the couch, remove some. But, don't forget to leave the personality. If that shelf of books is what makes you, you, don't take it away. The next buyer might appreciate it.
Mirror, Mirror on the wall!

Take time on the front entrance.
You've heard of "first impressions are everything" right? Well, your front entrance is the first place they see and that will determine how they feel about the place before they even walk in. Think about it like a greeting when you meet someone, they either made a great impression or left a bad taste in your mouth right from the beginning.
