Keep the following in mind when developing a plan to prepare your house for the real estate market.

Deploy Depersonalization
If you want a bunch of prospective buyers to imagine themselves living happily ever after in your house, take yourself out of the place completely. Remove all family photos, travel souvenirs, collections and mementoes, knickknacks, favourite media (books, movies, etc.), heirlooms, and any other items that reflect you and your family.

Cut Clutter
Boxing up your belongings as you depersonalize will go a long way toward achieving the “neat and orderly” environment that Ward says is key. But take it further: Toss junk mail in the recycling bin; keep surfaces free of keys, phones, purses, backpacks and the like; empty junk drawers and organize cabinets—which will surely be opened by house hunters.

Repair Problems
Everything in the house should function flawlessly. So fix squeaky floors, sticking drawers, stubborn doors, stained or discoloured surfaces and any other damage you’ve turned a blind eye to.

Paint in Neutral Hues
Painting is perhaps the best home staging improvement project you can take on. It’s often essential to “soft staging,” the term used for preparing a largely empty house for sale (other soft staging elements include window treatments, rugs, and framed artwork).

Strike a Balance
A staged home should not reflect your personal taste, but it shouldn’t look bland either. “Aim for casual sophistication,” says Ward. “Casual enough for buyers to envision themselves, kids, and pets living there, yet sophisticated enough for it to feel like they can have company in style.”
