to take things out when you need them. Some of these boxes may even qualify for charity, but we will discuss this at the end of this chapter. If there’s outgrown baby stuff, including walkers, strollers, baby car seats, booster seats, and so on, simply get rid of them or make a point to give them away to friends or relatives. STORING NONESSENTIALS UNTIL YOU MOVE Decluttering can be a daunting task, and there is no guarantee when your home will be sold and how long you’ll need to stay in a staged house. You might need the stuff you packed away or put in the attic. But, at the same time, you should get rid of the clutter to make your home look neat and clean to the prospective home buyers. The solution is to store the things you don’t need daily in storage boxes or cartons, and put them in a place where they won’t be noticed. When you require some of those items, you can easily take the box out and use the things you need. This method is going to save you time in the long run, when you finally get your home sold and it’s time tomove. Since the clutter is already packed up, you will only have to move the cartons. Nonessentials can also be stored using containers. CONCLUSION Staging the home is a necessary step to make the buyers imagine your home as theirs. You should make all the required changes to make it appear more inviting, cozy, and neat. If it’s thoroughly cleaned up, spacious enough, and has been decorated according to the latest trends in home décor, they will decide favorably. This is what we all look for in homes that we view with an intention to buy. Declutter the entire house to achieve these goals and use as many tools and solutions available on the market to perform this step quickly and effortlessly. The money you pay for these products is an investment, because you want to sell your home for more. Your efforts are going to help you achieve this objective! • • •
