PREPARE A HOME FOR SALE: DECLUTTER
When it’s time to sell your home, editing your decor will help make the sale. Buyers need to picture themselves living in your home, and they can’t do that if your stuff is crammed into every corner. Even if your house is dust-free and your fixtures are sparkling, your personal clutter can be a potential turnoff to potential buyers. Decluttering can be daunting. After all, you’re still living in your house. You might need your stuff!
Decluttering is not converting your house into a museum. It is selectively pruning anything that distracts buyers from seeing what they are getting with your house.I will guide you through the process. As always, follow the golden rule of organizing: sort your things into three piles—keep, donate, and throw away. Ideally, at the end of the process, the keep pile is the smallest of the three.
