Closets and pantries are little places that might be easily overlooked day-to-day. When guests are coming, it's easy to toss clutter into them for a quick clean-up. However, when you're getting ready for potential buyers to come to view your house, this isn't the way to get things ready. Storage space is something future buyers may want to see, and you need to prepare for such.
Deep cleaning the house is something that should obviously be done when going to sell, and this includes the closet. Decluttering is also very encouraged-- packing up collection and knickknacks to help depersonalize the house. This decluttering shouldn't clutter your closets and other storage areas, though! Consider organizing your closet, and storing anything you aren't using for the season-- fold your sweaters if it's winter, or your tank tops if it's summer to allow for more space in the area. Neaten your shoes and store ones you aren't planning to use.
While it may seem odd that you have to go as far as to neaten your closet before a showing, storage space is a big selling point. Potential buyers will want to know how much closet and pantry space they have to work with, and it can be a big selling point. You want to make sure your buyers see just how spacious your closets are to up the potential possibility of sale, so be sure to tidy your closet-- don't make it a temporary home for clutter!
