Clean and Declutter

You want to some furniture in your home to help potential buyers envision the space, but you want to stay minimal with this. Don’t clutter up the space with several pieces of large furniture, and don’t have shelves and walls filled. Leaving empty spaces is important too. The more open space, the bigger your home will look, which is what buyers want! 

I’ll help you know how much furniture to keep and how much to do away with.
