What should be in a kitchen thats for sale

Keep it simple. 

The appliances should be clean & clutter free.   Box up the magnets and move the photos to a scrap box or memory box so the children's memories can move with you for later enjoyment.  Explain this to the kids they will understand & help you set up a scrap book for these items.

The counter should always be cleared.  All appliances need to be put away unless the counter is there"home".

Dishes should always be washed & put into the dishwasher or put away.

Groceries immediately should be shelved.

The table should be clean with no or one clutter free container and chairs should be all empty & pushed in to make the walkway clear.  Extra leaves should be removed if not in use to make the room bigger. 

Kids toys & books or computers need to be returned to the users desk or room storage box, bookcase, or closed container that keeps clutter invisible.

Coats and clothing needs to be stored in closets, in the laundry, or folded & put away if clean.

Watch out for strong cooking aromas.  Some are good & some are offensive.  When in doubt use a odor eliminating spray.  No candles please;  these are a fire hazard for people that bump them in inadvertently and should never be unattended for even a moment.
