No!!!! This is not what your laundry room should look like (for that matter the dogs should be crated or out of the house).

I had a seller the other day who commented to me that they were going to list their house and go ahead and move their furniture to their new house. Stop!!!! Unless your furniture is really bad, leave it. What I do highly recommend, as well as most of my colleagues, have an agent come take a look and tell you what you can take out of the house. Empty houses can be incredibly hard to sell. While you want to 'depersonalize' the house somewhat, you still want to create a wonderful setting. Furniture gives rooms scale and identity.

Yes!!! This is what you want your home to look like. Clean, organized, and most importantly well taken care of!

On that note-Buyers love model homes! When you get your house on the market, you need to start looking at your house as an investment not a home. That means you want it to look like a model. Would you sell a dirty car? (I hope you said no) Would you take the seats and carpets out of the car? (In other words don't sell a empty house) Would you clean the windows, vacuum the carpets, touch up the paint on that car which has been like ole faithful to you all these years? (Yep!) Would you pile all your stuff into the trunk and hope and pray the buyer doesn't look? (In other words a buyer might appreciate not having a game board hitting them in the head when they open that closet door) Well, that's how you have to look at your house. Clean it! Get the stuff out that's clutter. That includes closets, cabinets, drawers, medicine cabinets, etc. Don't make your buyers think there's no closet space and you've outgrown your investment. This will mean $$$$ in your pocket.
