Home Seller Tip: Make Your Home Anonymous


When you visit model homes you will find wonderful, sparsely furnished homes that anyone could live in -- with the emphasis on "anyone." There may be a dollhouse in the girl’s room, but no family photos on the walls.

The reason you want to make your home "anonymous" is because you want buyers to view it as their potential home. When a potential home buyer sees your family photos hanging on the wall, it puts your own brand on the home and momentarily shatters their illusions about living in the house themselves.

Put away family photos, sports trophies, collectible items, knick-knacks, and souvenirs.

Part of preparing a house for sale is to remove the clutter.

Think of it as good motivation for that spring cleaning you’ve been meaning to get around to!
