Trying to Sell - Clear the Clutter

We live in a time of a competitive real estate market. You need every advantage available. In my reading, I find a lot of discussion of properly staging a home. One of the first things discussed is getting rid of the clutter. Listen to your Realtor, they can help you decide what needs to go. If budget allows use a professional stager. Some Realtors may provide this service for a small fee.

It may be a good time to throw some things away. They say that if you have not used something in three years it needs to go. If you can't pull the trigger on that option it is time to get some boxes and begin the moving process. Having a head high stack of boxes filling up the garage isn't the answer. The potential buyer wants to see that their boat, jet ski, Harley and grill will fit into the garage.

The solution, rent a space at your local mini storage. Face the fact that you will be moving anyway. If you unclutter that will happen sooner. Many people have too much furniture in their rooms. If your stager or Realtor suggest moving some out, heed their advice. When moving day comes there will be less to move. Pack away those things that haven't been used in a long while. Put the items that you think you might need near the door of the mini storage.
