Folks will look in the closets. They just about look anywhere they want, so keep things neat for a fast sale. I had some stash and it was kept in plastic tubs and dressers during the sale period. It does help to have things look as neat as possible and decluttered. Some folks can't see the house for the clutter. We did have a professional stager come (paid for by the realtor) and give us suggestions. We did what we could & then the realtor had an interior decorator come in and take the stuff we had and rearranged it for us. Took one week to sell. Worth the extra work and effort to us.
