When you go to sell your property this spring, you're probably going to need to spruce it up a bit. Decluttering your home is an essential part of the staging process, and it can add a lot of value to your home despite the simple steps that can be taken to make your home look like new. Today I'll be going over a few simple steps for decluttering.
  1. Clean for a Cause: When you're getting rid of unnecessary items in your home, you can always donate your unwanted items to the Salvation Army or the Goodwill. Sometimes getting rid of things is easier when you know that they'll be going to a good cause rather than a dumpster. Be sure to itemize things if you want tax deductions as well.
  2. Let Go of Objects: Getting rid of old belongings is tough. We all struggle with it, but some things you really do need to just get rid of. That old cast from when your child broke their arm twenty years ago is one of those items that could be thrown out. There are many other things we could probably stand to lose, if we just commit to ridding these items.
  3. Get Rid of Health Hazards: Clearing up dusty, unused spaces in your home can improve air quality, as dust and mold that gather in areas can be a detriment to your health in the long run. 
  4. Reclaim Your Space: If you need more motivation to declutter your home, consider how you could use areas that are full of unwanted items. That pile of old furniture in your garage could be used as a minibar, or that collection of clothing in your sun room could be thrown away and turned into a tea room. 
These are just a few ideas I had to share with you, but there are endless ways to organize and clean your home to attract buyers and increase your final sale price.
