When you are selling your home, the checklist of things that you need to do before it is ready to list can seem endless. Between getting everything cleaned and deciding how to stage your furniture, it can be overwhelming. Our professional movers at All My Sons in Jacksonville have seen homes that weren’t prepared adequately for the move, so we know that planning ahead can be a big help.

Remove Personal Items

Moving from a home that you have lived in for a long time can be very emotional, but in order to make your home seem move-in ready, you should take the time to remove personal items such as family photos from your home. A potential buyer will be more likely to see themselves living in your home if that can imagine their own things there, rather than your personal belongings.

Get Rid of Clutter

A lived in home is often full of clutter. Many Jacksonville movers have seen people try to move with a home full of junk, but it is much easier to sell your home if home buyers can walk through a picked up and clutter-free home. Clearing off your countertops, dressers, and other surfaces can make for a more appealing home that will be enticing to those looking to purchase.

Your home will likely sell much more quickly if you can keep it looking as close to a model home as possible.
