If your house is being shown to a potential buyer, it is best if you are not present at the showing. This helps give your buyer the feeling that your home may be his future house. This may kill a potential sale.

The new owners are highly likely will tear everything out and start over. Just leave mature trees and bushes, and see to it that you mow the lawn.

It can be hard for someone to detach from the items because they feel that they have sentimental value. When it's time to put your home on the market, arrange to have someone with no sentimental ties to your belongings do a walk through and assist you in eliminating clutter and arranging your space in an aesthetically pleasing fashion.
