This is a huge weekend all over the country for open houses. With traffic at its highest peak for buyers, it may also be a good time for sellers to help show their home's best potential. Here are some cost-efficient projects for sellers to undertake: Decluttering and Cleaning - it is very important to get rid of as many unnecessary items as possible. Store oversized furniture that is not needed. Organize you closets to show as much space as possible. Depersonalize Your Home - remove family pictures and other personal items. Clean, Clean, Clean - clean windows inside and out, steam clean carpets or replace old worn ones. Rip up carpets if you have hardwood under. Polish hardwood floors. Improve Curb Appeal - first impressions last a long time. Landscaping should be kept up and new plantings put in. Keep siding in good shape by painting or cleaning. Keep toys and yard tools organized. For all your real estate needs, call Angela Bergin, Flavin and Flavin Realty, 617-584-3253
