and bicycles can be shelved and hung. • Pet items also need to be out of the way when a buyer comes by. See the section on Pet Peeves on how to deal with pets while selling your home. Deep Cleaning: Spotless Is the Name of The Game Doing a thorough, deep cleaning of your home is vital. It works for people selling a car (they get more money), and it will work for you when selling your home. Deep Cleaning: Now that the clutter is gone, move on to cleaning each room. It makes sense to clean each room after you have removed the clutter. Tidy each room from top to bottom. Be meticulous, especially in the kitchen and bathroom. Home buyers will open cabinets, pantries, closets to assess their storage needs. General list of To-dos’: • Get rid of the cobwebs from every corner and crevice in the home. • Dust ceiling fans and lighting fixtures while you clean out the cobwebs. • Dust your blinds. • Wash walls. This is a must before repainting as well.
