Declutter, Declutter, Declutter

Quick Tip #4

Must of us are surrounded by at least a little organized chaos. That’s the way some of us live our lives, and it’s easy to see it in our homes. Unfortunately, the line of “lived in cozy” can quickly cross over into the hazardous territory of clutter.

Sometimes it’s hard for use to step back and see it. The stacks of paper on the desk you meant to file a few weeks ago. The books sitting near the bookcase because you have just a few too many to all fit. The unmarked box you never got around to unpacking from when you first moved in. Should I go on? We all have some clutter and since it’s a part of our every day we stop really seeing it. But a potential buyer definitely will.

So, pack up a little of that excess. Start donating or throwing away what you don’t need. Clutter makes a room feel small, and draws attention to the tiny details of who the seller is, and not all those wonderful details of the home the buyer is looking at.
