My house is for sale, and I am very excited and looking forward to the move. When families come to look at the house, I would like it to look inviting and warm. So, what are some good ways to "stage" the house to sell?
Paint the inside with neutral colors
Depersonalize every room (that means take down all photos and anything that makes it YOURS) they want to visualize their stuff in this place
Ever walk through a model home? Maybe go take a tour this week, see how they have things set up That would give you some good ideas
Since it is spring, if it is warm enough where you are, plant some flowers, clean up the yard and make sure you have curb appeal that draws people IN and wanting to know more about your house

The most important thing though is to price your house correctly. If you are priced too high, you are going to have to come down anyways, and you may be sitting on the market longer than you need to
Are there any other homes in your neighborhood like yours for sale? What is their price? Check out your competition
Biggest mistake people make is they do not de clutter or de personalize things. Also, show the rooms for what they are intended to be used for.
Expect people to open up closets and cupboards. I saw last night on a show to try as best you can to empty out closets and cupboards to show people how much storage space they would have!
Also, clean up the garage.
