Decluttering, for some people is freeing and they actually enjoy the activity. That’s not me… hi, I’m Brandi Cook of Meybohm real Estate of the Aiken HOMES
While many people find it difficult and tedious. It can be made easier with these three effective steps.
#1 Look for support.
Friends and family can be great motivators for getting rid of clutter. Ask them for opinions on what should stay or what should go; they might be happy to receive some family treasures or unwanted items you have been wanting to give away anyway.
Like Uncles’ Harry bowling trophies or the family’s china.
Most importantly if you are considering selling call a REALTOR® skilled in advising you how to clear the clutter. We can be your trusted real estate advisors and have years of experience helping people just like YOU, prepare their homes for home sold success and achieve the best terms and price in any market.
#2 Professional help, may be necessary.
Sometimes the task at hand may be a bit too much for you to handle. Or you are trying to assist a family member who cannot do it for themselves? Years of clutter builds up quickly. You might not be local and may not know who to call. You certainly need a trustworthy resource.
Enlisting professionals might be the best way to go. We meet with our seller clients, listen to their needs and help them with a list of reputable services and charities that can help them through this the time-consuming process. We even have vendors we work with to clean or make repairs to property. This will save you time and make you more money.
#3 Consider your options.
When it’s time to get serious about decluttering, the question is where should the stuff go?
Here are the 4 main options to consider.
Sell. Some items you may want to sell what’s the best way?
Donate. Old clothes you don’t wear, it may be better suited to go that route. Who should you call? Some may pick up.
Store. Consider getting a storage unit off site if you are unsure or do not have the time to deal with getting rid of possessions. This gives you time to look through at your pace and consider your options.
Trash or have it hauled off. Some items have no real value or are damaged. Old couches are perfect examples, worn clothing and many other items. Sometimes this may be the quickest way to create that much needed decluttered space.
Thinking of selling? We are a responsive, knowledgeable real estate team that helps our clients with the entire process from getting the home ready before going on the market all way to closing and beyond. We have trusted resources and vendors.
It’s a big decision, we know!
We’re here to help.
