A Checklist For Getting Living Rooms In Shape

Use the following list to make sure that your living, family, bonus, and rec rooms are shipshape for potential buyers:

All collections and personal items
All valuable items (remove them from the property)
Any signs of pets, including dog beds, scratching posts, food dishes, and so on
Ashtrays, and consider using an air cleaning machine if anyone smokes in the house
Children’s toys and games (or hide them in a covered basket)
Two thirds of the books on the shelves

Any nail holes from removed artwork
Carpet if needed (Often a professional clean can bring the new back into your carpet. Replace outdated carpet.)
Outdated or damaged light fixtures
Damaged trim or edging
