Sell your clutter...don't move it!

Getting a house ready to sell can be exhausting! The de-cluttering and removing the "stuff" to a storage area can be costly and time consuming. I often recommend to the seller to consider putting the extra furniture and accessories into a consignment store not a storage unit.

Often when you move your new home will not accommodate your furniture that you have anyway due to windows, room size or not enough rooms just to mention a few. So instead of paying to have it stored turn it into cash for new items for the new home. Just a thought to help the seller not to feel so overwhelmed.....and to help to get the SOLD sign posted!

Moving things a distance is expensive so if you don't love it and have to have it - dump it. Whether you sell , donate or give away - when it comes to a number of items you would be better off.

Good idea. Most things never fit in a new home. However it is disposed of, get the extra furniture and clutter out so the home shows good for selling.

You have hit the nail on the head. Why keep stuff in storage, you can sell it and save the money it would have cost you in storage fee's and time wasted handling the stuff. I know people who spent 5 times what there stuff was worth on storage fee's.
