Can you eat off of the floor?

kitchen.jpgWhen preparing your home for sale, it is important to realize what the buyers are going to be paying close attention to. Think of the rooms in your house. There are the bedrooms, the bathrooms, the living room, the dining room and maybe a playroom or a loft of some sort. These are all very necessary rooms but many would tell you that the most important room in a home is the Kitchen. My husband would certainly agree with that statement.

So this month, I want to share some things that you can do to make your kitchen more attractive and appealing.

  • Organize the pantry

  • Keep the floor clear of debris (sweep and mop regularly)

  • Clear all countertops of notepads, loose pens and other items

  • Keep the refrigerator tidy and neat (yes, some buyers will look in the fridge)

  • Take all magnets, kids' drawings and pictures off of the refrigerator

  • Keep the sink clear of dishes

  • Store countertop appliances out of sight (toasters, blenders, etc.)

  • Keep trash bins out of sight

Each time you leave the home make sure your kitchen is spotless. Prepare as though your mother-in-law is coming over for dinner and you don't want to disappoint her.

If a potential buyer walks into your home and sees a messy kitchen or pantry, I guarantee it will negatively affect the way they view the rest of your home.

You want people to walk into your kitchen and say, "You could eat off of this floor."
