Selling a home while managing a busy family isn’t easy, and that includes keeping it organised for viewings by potential buyers. Your little ones might not realise what a challenge their toys being out all over the floor is or that they cannot be home all the time right now, but you can stay on top of things easier with these tips. Impress potential buyers and reduce stress on yourself with the suggestions below.

Declutter in Steps

Rather than looking to declutter the house all in one day, it makes sense to do it in steps. That way, you don’t have to set aside an entire day to do so. You can also simplify it by scheduling the task into your day. Say, an hour on Tuesday and Thursday evenings after the little ones go to bed?

Find what times work well with your family schedule, put it on the calendar, and declutter bit by bit during those periods of time. If other activities arise, prioritise what is most important to help you stay on top of everything and reschedule the declutter session if needed. Follow the same process when preparing for moving day.

Clean Daily

While it might not be the most fun, regular cleaning helps you keep on top of it in case there is a last-minute viewing of the property. It could be only five minutes a day that you take; a little bit here and there is better than nothing at all. Encourage your partner and kids to help with cleaning up, too; you are teaching the children habits that will help them when they are older and more independent.

Regular vacuuming helps, especially if you have pets, to keep the space looking tidy. A clean house is important when it’s for sale as it shows potential buyers that you care about maintaining it, which increases their confidence in the property.

Stage Your Home

Making your home look more beautiful than ever can help it sell quicker. And that’s a great thing for a busy family as there is less stress on you maintaining it over the sale period. Using neutral colours for the walls and furniture is helpful, as is keeping hallways tidy so they look larger. Be sure to open windows, too, to help make rooms feel brighter, especially on sunny days.

Get Expert Help

A great estate agent is vital to selling your home to get you the most money possible, but did you know they can also provide valuable input on how to keep your home looking its best while for sale? With some simple adjustments from Harper Macleod specialists, you can present the home in the best light possible. The estate agents can reduce your stress and boost the chances of getting a sale in less time so your busy family can move onto the next chapter.

Final Tip: Hire a Cleaner

You might invest in a cleaner too for deep cleans if you don’t have the time. While you could do it yourself, it might not be worth it given what you can make on the job or the valuable time you could have the kids instead of scrubbing the tub. A great clean can help the house be ready for viewings this week.
