Clean To The Eye. Often times it is our personal adornments, photos, memorabilia and "knick-knacks" that create our "home". When it comes time to sell our home, it is our house that needs to shine through.
A perspective Buyer wants to walk through a property and be able to visualize their personal touch inside. If your property is overwrought with clutter, organized or not, it creates confusion to the viewer.
"White Space"
Creating the element of White Space falls under the guidelines of artistic display with a minimalistic approach. Galleries use this when showcasing artwork, while corporations also use this methodology in their print advertising to promote their product or service.
The subject in this case, your home, would be represented through clean lines and tasteful use of furnishings that accent the features of each room. The execution of white space does not distract or take away from the very item you are marketing-- your home.

Two of the most important rooms in your home are the kitchen and bathroom(s). The rooms receive the most foot traffic in our daily living and require the most attention to detail.
If you have accent tile on your kitchen counters-- show it.
When you have two-tone designer paint on the walls, remove framed artwork except for a few select pieces.
Rearrange furniture so that walking through the room is effortless, and the flooring can easily be seen. If necessary, put excess sofas, chairs, and tables in the garage or storage area.
It does not take much time and effort to create successful staging. Commit to these suggestions, and showing your home will be a breeze.
Make the beds.
Wipe down bathroom vanities and mirrors.
Keep clothes in the closet.
Allow natural light from windows in.

Nothing speaks to a Buyer like curb appeal. The initial exterior approach to a property can create enthusiasm about seeing the inside, or encourage the Buyer to move on to the next home.
The walk towards the front door must say Welcome Home. A path clear of debris, landscape that is taken care of, or sparse, but with a small dash of color near the door works well.
Time Efficient and Inexpensive Ways To WOW!
Dinner on display? Take a variety of vegetables and wash with water. Arrange decoratively on the countertop before showing your home. It adds an element of "real life" to your home while giving the kitchen a quick vibrant dash of color!
Bathroom bonus...
Roll towels tightly and place on counter or toilet tank. Place a flower (natural or silk) on top to create a fresh look.
