Spring is a great time to sell your home, but before you list it, give it a good spring cleaning. Start by clearing out any extra or unnecessary furniture, then pack away personal mementos and photos. Clean the kitchen and bathrooms from top to bottom, don’t skip cleaning the appliances. Clean all the windows, both inside and outside, take the drapes and curtains and clean those too. Have the carpets professionally cleaned, this not only improves their appearance but it will also help remove odors from the home.
