Who knew that getting rid of family photos and clearing off countertops could help you snag top dollar for your house?

That can mean anything from putting extra books in storage to getting rid of moldy caulk in bathrooms to renting furniture to fill up too-bare spaces. The goal is to make your home clean, organized, and welcoming so potential buyers can picture living there. “Most owners aren’t seeing bidding wars the way they were a few years ago,” Gould says. “But with the right staging, you can get close to your asking price.”
