Mistake #5 – Ignoring Storage Areas
Before you go shoving all your personal items into a closet, remember that potential buyers also want to see how much storage their new home will have. They are likely to open up closet doors and look in garages and storage rooms to start assessing if your home has enough room for all their stuff. If you’ve just tossed items and boxes in to the spaces, the storage may look smaller than it really is. And limited storage can scare off buyers.
Help highlight every nook and cranny of storage that your home offers by tidying up the storage spaces and removing anything that doesn’t absolutely need to be kept in the home. This is a great time to donate items you don’t use, or to rent a storage space for a few months to simply get stuff out of your home. No matter how you decide to clean out the storage spaces, do it before your first showing to make sure all your potential buyers can see just how much functional storage space your home really has.
