In order to quickly and successfully sell an apartment, it is necessary not only to correctly draw up legal documents, but also to prepare the premises themselves for the upcoming sale.

It is important to take into account that people, when they come to view a room, mentally figure out where and what they will place in terms of furniture and decorative items, how they will drink tea in the kitchen in the evening and take a shower in the morning.

The first thing you need to do is clear the apartment of broken and old furniture, which will visually add more space, and place the remaining interior items so that they do not interfere with the movement of people around the rooms.

The apartment should be clean and fresh, for this it would be good to air it out as much as possible for several days. It is recommended to entrust thorough cleaning to a professional cleaner who will thoroughly wash all visible surfaces: windows, floors and walls.

Small interior details such as figurines, toys, memorable gifts from trips are best removed from sight. You can leave large accent decorative items, eye-catching paintings, interesting photo frames with bright, cheerful posters.

If there are live plants in the rooms, they should be in good condition. Anything that has wilted and lost its blooming appearance is best removed completely.

It is advisable to leave textiles in small quantities: curtains, blankets, decorative pillows - all this gives a living coziness to the room.

Of course, these attributes should be clean and match each other in color. In the bathroom, it is better to remove all unnecessary towels, leave one or two for a lived-in look of the space.

Particular attention should be paid to the kitchen. It should not only be as clean as possible, but also free of unnecessary utensils. It is recommended to remove all unnecessary utensils from open spaces of kitchen furniture into cabinets. Electrical appliances can be left in a visible place: kettle, toaster, microwave. Kitchen work surfaces should be perfectly clean, without stains and traces of cooking.

If some rooms have dim lighting, it is advisable to replace the light bulbs with brighter ones. This will add more light to the apartment and, as a result, show it in its best light.

Every apartment has its own aura, just like every person. The less junk there is and the more open, clean space there is, the more likely it is to find new tenants faster.
