🛋️ Thinking about selling your home? Before you start decluttering, repainting or rearranging furniture, it can pay to think about who your most likely buyer will be.

A growing family may be looking for storage and practical living spaces, while professionals might value a home office or flexible room. Downsizers and investors may be more focused on easy maintenance and efficient living.

The key is not simply to make your home look good. It is to help the right buyer picture themselves living there.
