The reason you want
to "de-personalize" your home is because you want buyers to view it as
their potential home. When a potential homebuyer sees your
family photos hanging on the wall, it puts your own brand on the home and
momentarily shatters their illusions about owning the house. Therefore,
put away family photos, sports trophies, collectible items, knick-knacks,
and souvenirs. Put them in a box. Rent a storage area for a few months and
put the box in the storage unit.
Do not just put the
box in the attic, basement, garage or a closet. Part of preparing a house
for sale is to remove "clutter," and that is the next step in preparing
your house for sale.
