One of the hardest parts of getting your home ready to sell is de-personalizing it. In order to make it appeal to more buyers, you'll need to remove your family photos, all personal belongings and yes, even your collectibles. If a buyer feels they are "visiting" your home by seeing the family photos, collectibles and decor, then they can't picture themselves living there.
So when you are getting ready to sell, don't get overly attached to your things “We buy all our furnishings and accessories because we love them. We have a tendency to think everyone else loves them, too, and that’s just not true,” says Barbara Jennings, author of several home-staging guides. Look at your furnishings with a critical eye and remove anything that doesn’t complement each room’s best features.
Don't forget your belongings will move with you for a treasured place in your new home, so pack them away now.

This is a good tip. A $100 investment in a storage unit can translate to a quicker sale.
