We are in the process of doing that, and we've come to the conclusion that we are selling a family home, so it's pointless trying to create it looking like a showhouse.

We had a big tidy/clean up, for the virtual tour, and then just have a little potter around with the hoover and pick things up before anyone wants to have a look.

When we bought this house, it was nice to be able to see where toys and the kids stuff would actually fit into the house - and that it wouldn't be super cluttered (at least to start with!).

Your home will almost definitely sell for more without all the daily life clutter and toys. For example- not all buyers have kids, what you see as a family home may be their new work from home live/office space.

Probably true, but this is just an obstacle most people don't have anyway to get around. Moving out to a new home or apartment waiting for home to sale can easily be unaffordable to a lot of Americans.
