• Give every room in the house a thorough cleaning, and remove all clutter. This alone will make your house appear bigger and brighter. Some homeowners with crowded rooms have actually rented storage garages for excess furniture, creating a sleeker, more spacious look.
• Hire a professional cleaning service, once every few weeks while the house is on the market. This may be a good investment for owners who are busy elsewhere.
• Remove the less frequently used items from kitchen counters, closets, and attics, making these areas much more inviting. Since you’re anticipating a move, holding a garage sale at this point is a great idea.  (prior to putting your house on the market)

• Check for cracks, leaks and signs of dampness in the attic and basement and crawl space.
