Selling your home can be an overwhelming process, especially when you need to continue to live in the house while it’s on the market. Here are a few tips that you can use to make it easier:
1. Start packing now. The secret to a clutter-free home is to get rid of everything you can live without. Store it, throw it away, or donate it if you don’t need it in your everyday life. Doing this will also help you get a headstart on your moving.
2. Make sure the home is squeaky clean. If you’re struggling to find motivation, realize that a squeaky clean home can net you between $5,000 and $10,000 extra on your sale. Aim for that five-star perfection, and it will pay off.

3. Maintain your privacy and safety. When you list your home for sale, people will be coming in through all hours of the day, looking through your drawers, medicine cabinets, and other personal items. Make sure you don’t leave anything out you don’t want people to see. If it’s valuable, lock it up.
4. Clear your schedule. Make your home available for as many showings as possible, especially in the first week on the market. This is when buyer interest is highest, and you should allow all potential buyers through your front door.
