One of the first recommendations home stagers and realtors alike give their clients is to "declutter, declutter, declutter!" Then we keep our fingers crossed they do that.
This is all well and good prior to putting the house on the market but what happens during the selling process when the sellers have to live in the home and work around kids, pets, work schedules, etc?
I found a great little book, The One Minute Organizer Plain and Simple, by Donna Smallin that has wonderful tips on staying organized. Taking tips from that book I put together a handout for my Home Staging clients on how how to stay decluttered and stress free during the selling process. The handout gives suggestions that are simple and easy to maintain and gives the sellers less frustration during the selling process.
Many of you may already do this but if you are looking for a quick reference guide on tips to share, this book is handy. (and I have to admit, I've used many of the tips myself!)
