Herbert McGurk, REALTOR® - HOW I SELL HOMES OTHERS FAILED TO SELL

According to the National Association of REALTORS®, one of the most common buyer desires is more storage space. Whether they’re bringing a wardrobe of red-carpet gowns, athletic gear for outdoor living, or simply a well-appointed lifestyle, Los Angeles buyers come with baggage—and they need beautiful places to store it.

Maximize What You Have

Even if adding closets or cabinetry isn’t feasible, showcasing your home’s storage potential is critical. Here’s how: • Install Closet Systems

Prefabricated or custom closet organizers (from brands like ClosetMaid, IKEA PAX, or The Container Store’s Elfa line) can transform cramped closets into luxurious storage showcases. Use open vertical space and add smart shelving. • Think Beyond the Bedroom Don’t overlook your kitchen, pantry, linen closets, laundry area, garage, or even the attic. These less glamorous spaces often sway buyer decisions. • Declutter & Stage Storage Areas Buyers open doors. Show them space, not clutter. Remove excess belongings, neatly organize what remains, and ensure everything from coat closets to built-in cabinetry looks intentional.

When Possible, Add Storage Creatively

If your layout allows, consider converting a dead corner, hall nook, or awkward space into a linen closet or built-in storage feature. Not only is it functional—it feels custom and curated.
