Hi Kathleen,

This seems logical to me :)  If you are moving then putting away all the things that do you do not need will make packing so much easier.

Best wishes

This makes perfect sense.  What a great way to share and encourage your clients that are getting ready to move.  Thanks for sharing this nugget with us!

Hi Kathleen ~

I like this idea! Maybe becuase I'm a Libra and like balance.

Since you are a staging Realtor, this makes perfect sense.  May I offer a tiny adjustment to the suggestion?  Allow the stager to identify what needs to go, (beyond the depersonalizing de-cluttering) as we often find that the "wrong things" have been relegated to the garage, basement, yard sale or Goodwill.  Even if the homeowner doesn't want the dining table anymore, we need one to identify the dining room, BEFORE they sell and move on.  They can sell the table AFTER the house sells! We have found homes missing critical pieces of furniture, such as a sofa, bed, desk for the office, etc. because the homeowner was trying to follow instructions from their Realtor.  Likely the homeowner didn't clearly understand the intent, or saw an opportunity to shed some unwanted furniture that the spouse won't argue about! Good rule of thumb, 50%.
