Selling Considerations #3: Make Your Home "Anonymous"
What does it mean to make your home "anonymous"?
Consider a new subdivision with many new homes being offered by a volume builder. What you'll typically find are some tastefully furnished models that anyone could live in. They are "generic" or "anonymous", with nothing that feels like "personal" items. There may be "personality", but no person.
You'll want to make your home "anonymous" so that buyers will feel that they've walked into their potential home, not visiting or intruding into someone else's personal space.
Minimize your own expression of "self" by putting away family photos, sports trophies, collectible items, knick-knacks, souvenirs and the like, all of which can be distractions from what you want them to really see, the home itself.
Don't just stash such items in a closet or storage space, because another important part of preparing a house for sale is to minimize "clutter".
