Home Seller Tip: The Most Important Room


The kitchen is a good place to start removing clutter. First, get everything off the counters. Everything. Even the toaster. Put the toaster in a cabinet and take it out when you use it. Find a place where you can store everything in cabinets and drawers. Of course, you may notice that you do not have cabinet space to put everything. Clean them out. The dishes, pots and pans that rarely get used? Put them in a box and put that box in storage.

Home buyers will open all your cabinets and drawers, especially in the kitchen. They want to be sure there is enough room for their own possessions. If your kitchen cabinets, pantries, and drawers look jammed full, it sends a negative message to the buyer and does not promote an image of plentiful storage space.

If you have a "junk drawer," get rid of the junk. If you have a rarely used crock pot, put it in storage. Do this with every cabinet and drawer. Create open space.

Don’t forget to clean out beneath your kitchen sink too!
