| A full counter top and items on the floor will say, "this kitchen is small"! |
There are many things you will need to pay attention to when selling your home. In this post we are going to cover only one, but it is an important one. Your kitchen. We all know that the kitchen is one of the most important, and most used rooms in every home. There are some things that you will want to do to that will make a good impression on potential buyers.
Remove everything off of the counters - Find a good place where you can store everything, even the toaster. :) If you don't have the room in your cupboards, maybe start packing up stuff that you rarely use or can get by without for a bit. You want to avoid stuffing your cabinets because many of the people walking through will open them up to see the inside. You want it to look nice when they do.
Food pantry - In your food pantry let your canned goods and other food inventory go down to the essential goods that you will need. A pantry that is chock full of food may seem that it is not big enough. The less cluttered it looks, the better the impression.
Under the kitchen sink - Here is one many people forget, but is also a place that many people will look during walk throughs. Again declutter. Take everything out and give it a good cleaning. Get rid of anything that you will not need and try to keep just one of what you do need. While you are under there see if there are any signs of leaks that need to be fixed.
Appliances - keeping your appliances clean will also go a long ways towards a good impression. Keep the stove top clean. Every time you use it be sure and clean up any spots or food that was spilled. For the refrigerator, again keep the essentials inside of it. A full fridge may look small to potential buyers. On the outside keep all finger prints cleaned off as well.
