Getting Your Charlotte Area Home Ready To Sell This Spring?

If You Don't Need It, Donate It, Recycle It, Or Sell it!

 

Houses will be in high demand this spring, making it a great time to sell. But before you sell, make sure your home is ready to sell and staged for maximum impact. Watch the video below for tips to help get your home ready to sell. Once you've cleaned up and cleared out, check the lists below of places in the Charlotte area where you can donate, recycle, or sell those household items you no longer need, want or use. And as you prepare your home for sale, remember you can always reach out to me if you need a referral for a painter, cleaning service, landscaper, handyman, contractor, etc.

Barbara Todaro hi Barbara... every time one of my clients is getting their home prepped for sale the questions come up... where and how to donate. I figured it was time to put a list together. And all these organizations are in real need of money and goods, as well as volunteers.

Kat Palmiotti thanks, Kat... I always think that people work better when they have a checklist and aren't just winging it, hoping they didn't forget anything.

Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP hi Patricia... I certainly can't take credit for the names of these resources... but I like the creativity myself.

As always, creativity draws people in out of curiosity and when they wonder, they wander into shops like this and it's a great place to donate too!

Hello Nina - the proper frame of mind is important when projects that seem too large to tackle make their way to our "must do" list.  And speaking of frames of a different kind, it might be a good idea to find a new home for some nearly forgotten but still "out there" artwork and mementos in the deep dark storage areas found in so many homes.  Timing is now as the selling preparation season is NOW.

Nina,

When my mother in law decided to move to Denver after we sold her house, Ron and I , my sister in law and my niece came to LA to help go through her stuff.  She had a difficult time with this. It was quite an ordeal.    A

Ron and Alexandra Seigel hi Alexandra... I think this is always an ordeal for just about anyone, but even more so if someone has lived in their home for a while. Fortunately, your mother-in-law didn't have to go through this exercise by herself.

Michael Jacobs hi Michael... I clean out my house three times a year... and even then it always amazes me how much "stuff" I can eliminate and donate. For people who never do this, I just can't imagine what they go through.
