I think I would try and get rid of any clutter. Maybe take 30 to 50% of what is in your closets out so they look bigger. Same goes for kitchen pantry. If you have wood floors I would remove the area carpets and shine the floor. Get the garage as empty as you can and maybe park your cars outside when the house is being shown.

I would also find someone to do the sale now if you are not going to do it. That way you will be ready to move forward as soon as the contract is signed. Also consider the use of pods for moving incase you get a quick sale you can load the pods and store them for a few weeks if need be. I would not ship anything to TV (unless in pods you can store) until you close on the home.
