Selling and Decluttering – “But it won’t be my house”

When agents ask their Sellers to declutter and take out personal items they often hear the Seller say “But it won’t be my house.” and the response (inside the Sales Representative’s head) is “And that is the point.”  I have been asked to visit Sellers’ homes to give them an opinion of what they have to do before they put their homes on the market.  I often say that the house is perfect for them while they are living in it but…..  things will need to be done to make it a marketable product.

When a house goes on the market for sale, it should no longer be treated like your home.  Think of it as an object to be sold at its best price.  It is commerce.  It is the same concept when you clean up your car and shovel out the trash in the back seat before trading it in at the dealer’s.  If you are selling it yourself, you may even have it detailed.  So why would you not do the same for your house?  Take down personal pictures, remove clutter, clean like there is no tomorrow and make the place shine.  You get the best price for a car in good condition and the same will apply to your house. 

Don’t think HOME, think PRODUCT.
