Selling a Columbia SC Home: Lock Up Valuables

If you're selling your Columbia SC home, part of the staging process is removing valuables and anything that could be harmful before you start showing your home. Buyers do not need the distractions and unfortunately, not everyone is honest.

Preparations for Selling Your Columbia SC Home

When getting ready to sell your Columbia SC home, put away all valuables

Prepare for selling your Columbia SC home by putting away and locking up valuables like money, jewelry, silverware and collectibles. This makes the home show better and buyers won't become fixated on the things in the home instead of the home itself. Your Columbia SC home will sell faster and not linger on the market when it is is in prime selling condition.

Potentially harmful items like guns, ammunition, knives and prescription drugs are items that can tempt a less than honest person. They could also tempt a child that may be along for the ride and none of us wants a child to get hurt. Even something innocent like aspirin or cough syrup could cause physical harm in the wrong hands. To be safe, put it away and totally out of sight when selling your Columbia SC home.

Alcoholic beverages should not be left out either. It's easy enough to put them away in a cabinet so they will not be a distraction. Liquor sitting out shouts at the buyers that the seller really likes to drink. Nothing should stand in the way of a buyer thinking about the house instead of wondering about the seller's personal living habits.

By removing these items before selling your Columbia SC home, the home is in the spotlight, not the valuables, firearms or prescriptions. Think smart and make your Columbia SC home show ready with all valuables and harmful items locked up and safely put away.
