Tip #20  De-Cluttering Your Home : A Key Step When Selling Your Home 

How to make decluttering a key step before selling your home

The idea is, 
When selling, 
you want to showcase your house. .
Not your stuff!

I always advice my clients to make it a game. 
You can even make a contest with all your family members

Who dumps the most stuff in one single weekend!

The winner will ultimately be you. .as a seller

One test if an item is a candidate for decluttering
Hide it for a few days 
If no one is asking for it. .
You don't need it!

This is the time to reset your life. .seriously
Stuff all over the place clutters your mind. .
You almost become part of the problem. . 
Just get rid of it if you don't use it!

Less is more when it comes to stuff in your house 

To make your rooms look larger you need less stuff

You don't have to have something on every corner of the house. .

Small tables that just collect dust against a wall. .must go

Organize your bookshelves in an orderly fashion. . a few books a couple statues and that is it!

The kitchen is the key area for buyers

Take everything out of the drawers  and throw away storage containers that have no lids.

Condiments that you don't use anymore. .
All those gadgets that you purchased from infomercials . .they all must go away from the counter space

I advise you to hide any small appliances like toasters and mixers inside your cabinets.

An uncluttered counter-top sells . .even if your kitchen is from the 90's!

Please remove personal pictures and magnets from your refrigerator and clean it till it shines. . .a few weeks and you can put them back on!

There is no reason to have a 12 month supply of dry canned foods when you are going to be out of that house in 3 months!

A lot of people would love the donation at the local Salvation Army

While you at it. .

You know those clothes that still have the stickers hanging on your closet?

Come on!

Do you really need to keep that?

There are a lot of homeless children that would love to have clothes this Winter. . .unless you are Kim Kardashian. .get rid of it!

Remember 

Less stuff, less hassle for you. . and a quicker sale!

Why It's Never Been Easier To Sell Your Own Home

Yes, I know the Internet has leveled the playing field for private home sellers. It's never been easier to find a buyer for your house, or to find your new home . .but do you really need a Realtor anymore?

Deciding to sell your home can be somewhat  confusing, stressful and depressing all at about the same time. Selling it on your own and you can double that anxiety unless you have someone to assist you during the process.

Someone that is a professional and a person with a plan!

A plan that will help you avoid the pitfalls in selling.

Is not about just selling it. . is about selling it for the MOST MONEY!

I have spent many years in the real estate industry and practiced the profession  in 5 different states.  I helped homeowners sell their own homes over 375 times!  and I can assure you that on those 375 homeowners. .at one time or another have thought about saving their commission and doing it solo.

The funny  thing about real estate, it's about being the most expensive investment many people will ever have in a lifetime. .but yet  everyone thinks they're an expert in the field just because they own a home.

This over confidence has humbled and cost thousands of dollars to many potential for sale by owners (FSBO's)

Let's talk about one of the many tasks that has to be accomplished if you want to sell it for the  highest amount.

 Marketing your home and attracting buyers is a skill that costs a lot of time and money.  These days we are overflowed with information and ads everywhere. You definitely need to stick out and you will not do it with a yard sale mentality to sell your own home.

You are not selling old furniture, toys, or old clothes in a yard sale.
A couple signs, a couple arrows and you are in business?
You are selling a house!
Unless you want to sell it at yard sale prices, this is the wrong approach!

Plan carefully when making the decision to sell your home as an FSBO and just be sure that when you are ready to move forward, you have interviews with at least 3 professionals to compare your plan of attack to theirs. By preparing yourself and your home for the sale you'll be surprised how easy is to see the tremendous value hiring a professional to do the job right. .and you take charge of  that yard sale to make your moving experiences less hectic!
