PREPARING YOUR HOUSE TO SELL

Get organized for your relocation

 

Your home is your castle. Unfortunately, with the abundance of closets and cabinets, you probably have no idea how many treasures you actually have tucked away into the nooks and crannies.

 

The best way to prepare to sell your home is to begin by methodically taking inventory of your possessions and purging all unwanted possessions and clutter. Adding space to your home makes it more desirable to prospective buyers and also solidifies your intention to move.

 

Before I moved to Southern California from Florida, I began getting rid of excess possessions. I did not know how or when we were going to be able to move, given the dramatic difference in real estate values and cost of living, I knew that we had to begin somewhere.

I agree with you - de-cluttering is the #1 thing you can do to get ready.

Thanks, Kevin. We hear it repeatedly but so often it does not get done. And since folks are planning to move anyway, why not just take care of this in advance?
