Things which you don’t use can either be donated or disposed away. Remove all the oddments and pack the required stuff in a neater way. Keep things only which can/are to be used and pack them using cartons and crates.
Replace & replace: This is one of the most important parts of giving your home a new look. Walk around and find out if there are any leaky taps, dangling wires, worn out furniture, unused bulbs, cracks in the wall and many more. Hire a plumber and a repairman to mend and replace all the damaged objects.

Common areas like the terrace, corridors and other rarely used places also should be cleaned and repaired if necessary. If you have a garden, make sure you clear all the clutter and trim the grass or bushes to make it look appealing. You can also paint your fences and level the land beforehand. Planting attractive flowering plants will lure the buyer.
Lesser furniture: Removing excessive furniture and other embellishments from your home will let the buyer have a through look at your home and will also make it look spacious. Remove extra furniture and clear all the countertops, shelves and other places used to store appliances.

In such cases make sure that all your shelves, cabinets and closets are well arranged and latched. This shows that you have taken good care of your home. Arrange all the similar wares according to their shapes, sizes and colours in a same place. Arrange all the shoes, clothes and items which are used daily in a neat manner.
Create a sparkling home: Clean each and every part of your home in a sparkling way. Things like vacuuming every day, washing and scrubbing the floors and windows, re-caulk sinks and bathtubs, polish the floors, replace worn upholstery, repaint your home and spread a fresh aroma all over your home.
