• Your home must be clutter free…start packing early
• Depersonalize your home by removing family photos, religious artifacts, etc
• Rethink the way you use some of the rooms to make it appeal to more buyers
• Hire a cleaning crew or do a very thorough job yourself
• Repair obvious problem areas so buyers are not distracted and turned-off
• Consider that the way you currently live in your home is not the way you showcase it to buyers

Hiring a home stager can help make this process much more manageable, but most importantly it can help you sell your home for more profit and more quickly.
