to be highlighted. 2. Clean, declutter, clean, and declutter some more. Clean your home from top to bottom until it shines. Get rid of junk. Remove clutter. Remove old and ugly furniture. Store away personal belongings. You don’t want your family photos, laundry piles, or the old torn lounge chair online for the whole world to see. 3. Hide the pets. Even if you’re the most meticulous pet owner ever, advertising to potential buyers that you have birds in a cage, a free-roaming guinea pig, or a bedroom dedicated to a family of rare Siamese cats is going to be deterrent. Further, pets often create odors that stick around, and since you’ll be working hard to make this odor disappear, you want to avoid bringing any attention to these critters. Find temporary shelter for your furry friends and remove all “evidence.” 4. Add some color. A few home accessories with colors that pop will go a long way. For example, do you have any bright sofa pillows? How about a healthy green plant or a vase of colorful flowers strategically placed in each room? 5. Light it up. Are your pictures really dark or washed out? Is there enough light from the windows? You can always add some lighting to brighten things up.
