Begin the journey of selling your home on the right foot by prioritizing decluttering!

Are you gearing up to sell your home this year? If so, you're likely wondering where to begin in order to ensure a smooth and successful sale. Well, look no further because the #1 thing you need to do is declutter your house!



Decluttering may seem like a daunting task, but fear not! With a simple plan in place, you can tackle this project with ease and set the stage for a successful home sale. Here's how to get started:


Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Before diving into decluttering, gather three boxes to help you categorize your belongings


  1. Keep: This box is for items you want to keep and take with you to your new home.

  2. Throw Away: Use this box for items that are broken, missing pieces, or no longer useful.

  3. Donate: Fill this box with items you haven't used in over a year that can be donated to those in need.

Step 2: Sort and Simplify

Now that you have your boxes ready, it's time to start sorting through your belongings. As you go through each room, ask yourself if each item is truly necessary or if it's just taking up space. Be ruthless in your decision-making process and remember: less is more when it comes to showcasing your home to potential buyers.


Step 3: Pack and Prepare

Once you've decluttered each room, it's time to pack up your belongings. Start by filling up the "Keep" box with items you'll be taking with you to your new home. Then, dispose of the items in the "Throw Away" box and drop off the contents of the "Donate" box to a local charity.


Step 4: Enjoy the Benefits

By decluttering your home, you'll not only make the selling process easier, but you'll also create a more inviting and spacious environment for potential buyers. A clean and organized home is more likely to sell quickly and for top dollar, so it's well worth the effort!
