Do it! Take a look

After all these years of selling real estate, I still find it funny how many people are afraid to really "look" at houses. They forget that their "stuff" has to fit in the new place. Not only furniture but all the toys, pictures, books, dishes, towels, sheets....need I keep going.

Who wouldn't love a well organized closet space?

Buyers are nervous about opening closets, cabinets and drawers. Don't be. As soon as you walk in, open that coat closet. Is there room for your coats and guest coats? Where will you put shoes when you come in and kick them off after a long day at work? The space must work for you and the way you live.

In the kitchen...do you entertain a lot or try to avoid the room all together? Is there a place to store all your serving platters and those "special" dishes no one can ever touch because they are for guests only. 

Check to make sure lower cabinets have pull out shelves! Added bonus

Are the cabinets deep enough for your plates or would you have to go out and buy new smaller plates, this might make Bob Harper from Biggest Loser happy, but seriously, I want my steak and baked potato to fit on the same plate.

For some people they want a special place for their wine glasses. If you're like me, its those beautiful martini glasses. And if your anything like my husband you need room for all those small appliances that you just couldn't pass up at Target or worse, Williams Sonoma.(cha-ching)

Every woman knows drawer space in the master bath is a huge plus!

So don't be afraid to look in the closets and bathroom cabinets. You must make sure all your towels, sheets and medicines will have a home as well as some extra space in cabinets and closets for those times you need to make a mad dash cleaning spree because the mother-in-law is on her way..
