[quote=Anonymous]Definitely remove valuables. If you don't have a locking file cabinet, removing your financial files probably makes sense, too. I heard about an open house a few years ago when the owner's designer purses were stolen, so anything could be a target, I suppose. Beyond removing items that might be stolen, you will want to remove half or more of what is in each closet and storage area to make them look bigger. Ditto for kitchen cabinets, etc. You can probably live without the food processor and stand mixer while the house is on the market. Put them in off-site storage. Talk to your realtor about what artwork and photos to remove. When we sold our first house, our realtor actually recommended keeping our photos, as they were representative of the lifestyle and would help market the house. Our artwork isn't terribly avant garde, so that all stayed, too.[/quote]
