557 Decluttering to Sell – How to Make Your House the Best on the Block
Today Kathi is talking with her real estate agent, Kelli Simmerok, about tips and tricks to help us stay clutter free whether or not we are selling a house.
Listen in and learn:
- The importance of removing personal items and some furniture before selling.
- How to pack away some of your stuff and create space for the potential buyer.
- Ways to make a great first impression, including front porch flowers and the smell of fresh baking.
- Ideas for saving time in daily routines to allow more time to keep the house ready to show.
Remember, you can do anything for a short period of time. If you know you’ll be moving soon (or even if you aren’t), start with one area or one room and work from there a little bit each day. You can do it!
