[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kitchen in the living room to a buyer says - the house is not big enough.

We all know what it says in real life is - I can sit in the same room as my child is playing.

Also wrt the gates - you need to get rid of them.  You do not want people breaking them / tripping as they step over them.[/quote]

Agree about the toys, but I think the gates (are they just on the stairs?  The swinging kind that you don't have to step over?) can stay.  First, because OP doesn't need a catastrophe to deal with while she's selling her house, and second, because they're not a big deal, and are a plus to many people.  We were just thinking about starting a family when we bought our house, and key features included things like 3br upstairs and kid-friendly areas.  Gates would not have been an impediment in any way, and everyone knows they can be removed before closing.[/quote]

OP here: Yes, easy to remove all toys (large kid bedrooms and tons of storage in basement; did I mention we love our house?? sigh...). The gates would be hard to remove as they are bolted to walls (we would have that completely like new when we sell obviously). They do swing, though I could see an agent struggle to figure out how to open them (we'd leave good instructions). They are only on the stairs. We have others elsewhere but those would all be removed. The gates were not cheap.[/quote]
