Considering that many people admit to having a clutter problem, you can bet that potential buyers will swoon when they see that there’s enough space to hang all their winter coats, a place to park the minivan, and comfortably put away the crockpot in the actual kitchen. That’ll be hard for them to gauge if your countertops are littered with mail and you have a three-stall garage but can’t house a single car. If you do discover a long forgotten closet full of stuff that you can’t part with, consider putting it in storage until you are ready to move, so buyers don’t have to see it. Closets and drawers don’t need to be empty, they just need to be neat and organized. Open house crimes do happen. The bottom line is you are opening your house to strangers. Usually burglars are after prescription drugs, jewelry and small electronics. But even if your open house visitors have perfectly good intentions, they could still stumble upon private account information or financial records that you’d rather not have on display. Get in the habit of getting bills and personal information (like your Wi-Fi passwords) out of sight while your house is on the market and use file cabinets with locks as a precaution.
