If a person is intent on selling their house, it is best to draw up marketability plans. In other word, it is essential for the house to be attractive and seem like a good buy. Nobody wants to buy their old house again. Therefore, it is best to give the house you're selling, a "new feel".

Buyers will only give you good money if your house seems good enough for the amount. Whatever purpose it has to serve in the future be it a place for starting over or a rental income, it is best to make your house look like it's up for it. Renovating and renewing a few are in order.

Who hasn't heard of houses with their special names? Be it Eagle's Nest, Hill House or Little Oak Place, a house is part of a family. It is a non living member. Its name may have come from surroundings but it definitely ends up carrying emotional attachments.

If you really like your house a lot be it because of fond memories or whatever, it is best if you put it all aside when selling it. Strangers going all over it and complaining about things can invoke unwanted negative feelings.

It is a good strategy to create a warm atmosphere in your house so it seems pleasant. But buyers may not feel comfortable with relating to a new place if it already has too much memorabilia in the form of photographs etc.

It's best to keep all that aside to make space for buyers. People also have a tendency to break and steal things. Valuables should be packed up and put away.

Make it sparkle. Your house should appear neat and nice. Getting rid of any patches stains etc serves best and will work for your benefit as far as money goes.

It might happen that in the end your house actually looks so good, that you don't want to let it go at all. If not, then you'll still get a much higher price than you initially would.
