Opening your wardrobes
The second most desirable selling feature in a house is adequate storage space, so know that buyers are going to be looking in your wardrobes. Show off your wardrobe space to its best advantage by reducing by half what you have in each wardrobe — on the hanging rods and on the shelves. Remove and store offseason clothes so buyers can picture how their things will fit in the available storage.
- Leaving some attractive hangers empty to indicate that the hanging rods
- provide plenty of room for clothes; use padded hangers for the added feeling of luxury.
- Picking up everything from the floor.
- Arranging what remains in your wardrobe as it would be displayed in a department store. Hang shirts with other shirts; make sure they’re all facing the same direction and colour coded. Hang short pieces with other short pieces and longs with longs. If you can, use only matching hangers.
- Even though most buyers aren’t as organized as your wardrobes make you appear, they want to be. Organized storage is just another reason for them to view your house as move-in ready.
- Remove back of the door storage, which implies that the wardrobe doesn’t have enough storage space.
