Staging your home for listing photos and showings can really make the difference! Kids play areas can often become overwhelmed with "things". Check out these tips to help you manage the mess and present your house well to future owners!🏡🏡

1. Work solo! Whether it is nap time or after the kids go to school, do your deep clean when they aren't there to grab things back from the trash or distract you from the mission at hand!
2. Don't keep trinkets! Those bags of things you got from their friends birthday party as a favor? Let them only have a 24 hour shelf life in your household. Same with fast-food toys and other "clutter". 🗑♻️
3. Never ask your child if they still like something. If you do, suddenly, it is the only toy they care about. If you haven't seen them take an active interest, toss it or check out #5.
4. Let it go! If its broken or missing parts - pretend you'll never find the part or never be able to fix it and let it go! 💔
5. Create a purge purgatory. If you child hasn't played with a toy in a while but you're unsure if they still are interested, create a single bin in a closet with toys. If they don't ask about them for 30+ days, send the bin to donation. 🧸

Not every space in your home is going to be perfect for every showing or listing photos, but with proper work ahead of time, you can make sure your home presents well and is inviting to potential buyers.

The best home buying tip I ever received was to be prepared, patient, and proactive.

Be prepared by understanding my budget and working with a lender early.

Be patient and don't jump at the first house you see - if you aren't in love, wait for it.

Be proactive - make the phone calls. Do the leg work. Do the research on the place and realtor you are interested in well before you start the process.

What things have you been told to help your home buying (or selling) experience go smoothly?
