    De-personalise it - put away all the stuff (all that you can) that makes it yours, so buyers can imagine themselves in the house i.e. photos, calendars, declutter bench tops etc

    Tidy up your gardens - I always check out gardens and how much work would be involved to maintain them. If they look tidy and well kept I can easily forget how much work a big garden can be.

    Good luck!

    Things into storage that you don't need, neutral colours as much as possible, no personal stuff around (photos, ornaments etc put away)
    Yep all that is great.

    Declutter, then declutter again. Most people don't realise how much stuff they have until a real estate agent comes in and says "get rid of it all", LOL.

    A really nice bedspread with some throw pillows can lift a bedroom from drab to fab, just make it light so it makes the room appear bigger. We put a plain coloured sheet over a yucky dark brown couch and added two scatter cushions and it looks kinda funky instead of "omg that looks like a mashed banana stain".

    Sugar soap the walls if you can. Get a professional real estate photographer.

    Get rid of all your rugs, it makes rooms look smaller than they are.

    Coming Straight from selling house australia..........take most of your stuff out of your cupboards to make them look spacious, people like storage. I think the ultimate is to move out, hardly practical though

    An onion in the oven makes the place smell nice.
