Thinking of selling your home to downsize or move to a senior-supportive environment? Not sure where to start? Decluttering and preparing your home for sale can feel overwhelming, though its often less complicated than we think. To get your home ready for sale: 1) Sort items into piles to help you determine what to keep/sell/donate/toss. 2) Make any minor repairs and consider repainting with neutral colours, if necessary. 3) Give the home a good, thorough cleaning. 4) Remove most of your personal items, like photos and art objects. 5) Remove anything you plan to keep, such as window coverings.
