You are about to move and sell your home… What needs to be done? Your home should be depersonalized. All non-necessities, family pictures, and other knick knacks should be packed up and stored (or moved to your new home). Furniture should be arranged in such a way that potential buyers get the idea of the original intended use of a room/ space ( think: the office that has turned into a kids playroom or parrot habitat). You may consider replacing a worn carpet, fixing up walls and trim, renting furniture, etc.
