Selling a home while you are still living in it can be a huge inconvenience; prospective buyers will be touring your home and inspecting it up and down for days, sometimes multiple times a day. Coexisting with these new challenges is tricky, but it can be done. If you follow these tips from the experts at Exit Realty Upper Midwest, the  fastest growing real estate company in the Upper Midwest, you'll be able to balance living in a listed home with trying to sell it.

• Pack, Pack, Pack: Anything you don't absolutely need can be packed up, since your goal is to be leaving this house soon anyway. Packing also removes clutter from your house, which in turn makes it look better to prospective buyers.
• Clean Everything: It'll be a lot of work, but it literally pays off. A clean house (floors scrubbed, shelves and furniture dusted, sinks and toilets sparkling) is worth an extra $5,000 to $10,000 on your home sale.
• Lock Up Your Valuables: This means important mail and other documents, valuables, and prescription medication. Strangers are going to be looking through your drawers and cabinets, so you can't be too careful. If it's near and dear to you, stow it away.
• Make Your Home Welcoming: Turn the lights on, play some nice music, open doors and windows if the weather allows it, and send your pets away for the day. Make your home as attractive and inviting as possible.
