nd to alienate potential
buyers.
Bedrooms
Make the beds and remove clutter from under the bed. As with the kitchen cupboards,
clear out the clutter so they appear larger. If you have teens or themed rooms,
replace bedding and curtains with a more neutral alternative. Patterned bedding
will detract from buyers viewing the room and its features. Take down any posters
that may be on the walls. Fill holes left behind or hang framed artwork in their
place.
Converted Rooms
Finally, if you have converted any rooms in your house, you should convert them
back to the house’s original design. For example, a bedroom converted to a den
or home office should be changed back to a bedroom, especially if it is one
of the rooms that you have included in your listing as 3 bedroom home.
Conclusion
The decision as to the amount of improvements you are willing or able to make
will always be your own and there is definitely quite a bit of effort involved
with implementing some of the suggestions above. It would make sense to think
that buyers should look beyond the personal items that will be removed after
a sale and, although there are some buyers who will be able to do that, most
buyers won't. The suggestions made above are for ensuring a quick sale by targeting
the majority of buyers rather than those rare ones that can see beyond these
items.
