Every real estate agent or short sale Realtor will tell you that when they give tours of properties, potential buyers love to open every cabinet, drawer and closet that they can. Naturally, they want to see what kind of space they may be working with if they do purchase the home, but you can also chalk some of that inclination up to good old curiosity. Make sure that everything is clean and organized—you want to convey the image that every single thing in the house has been well taken care of, from little things like drawers to the big things like rooftops and plumbing.
Ways to organize your cabinets is to ensure all dishes are stacked neatly and with their matching accessories, turn the handles on coffee cups the same way, and put any mismatches at the very top, as far out of sight as possible. In your closet, hang like colors and items together and turn hangers to face the same direction. One short sale realtor gave us a great tip—try SlimLine hangers to maximize space in the closet. They’re flocked so that clothing stays in place and their slim design improves the overall aesthetic of the closet—plus, everyone knows that extra room is key. Get racks to organize your shoes and a laundry sorter that is out of view so that potential buyers aren’t looking at your laundry.
Employ these types of tactics in every area of your house and you’ll be well on the way to selling your property!
