You don’t need to become a minimalist, but decluttering is essential. Excess furniture, overflowing shelves, and jam-packed closets make your home feel cramped rather than cozy. Buyers crave space—show it off!
Here’s the method to the madness:
1. Room-by-Room Plan: List every space and tackle them one at a time. 2. Keep It Essential: Keep only the items that add purpose or aesthetic appeal. 3. Donate or Discard: Let go of things you don’t use. (Yes, that includes the bread maker you haven’t touched since 2015.) 4. Organize Like a Pro: Think curated, not cluttered—imagine how your home would look in a magazine spread. Room-Specific Tips: • Kitchen: Clear counters; only a few essentials should stay. No one wants to see your microwave doubling as a breadbox. • Bathrooms: Sparkling clean and minimalist—like a high- end spa, not a family locker room. • Bedrooms: Showcase closet space by clearing out 80% of your wardrobe. Buyers love spacious closets, not jam- packed ones. Deep Clean: The Spotlight Treatment Here’s the reality: Buyers will scrutinize everything . From the cobwebs in the corner to the streaks on your windows, they’ll notice what you’ve been ignoring. A spotless home isn’t just appealing—it’s reassuring.
