Kim Elizabeth, Realtor® - HOW TO SELL HOMES FAST FOR TOP DOLLAR

DECLUTTER

Clutter Kills Space—and Sales You love your stuff. That’s great. But your stuff is getting in the way of your equity.

More stuff = less space. Less space = lower offers.

Think of your home like a stage. The spotlight should be on flow, function, and features—not your action figure collection or your overflowing kitchen counter.

The Plan: Declutter Like You Mean It

1. Make a room-by-room list 2. Start small, then go big 3. Box up anything non-essential 4. Store it off-site or in bins out of view 5. Ruthlessly purge what you don’t need

Room-by-Room: The No-Nonsense Checklist

KITCHEN Clear the counters. Three essentials max. Hide towels, soaps, and appliances you never use. Microwave ≠ storage. Make it clean and open. BATHROOM Make it look barely used. Store personal items. Clean it like your sale depends on it—because it does. BEDROOMS Declutter closets. If it’s not worn weekly, box it. Buyers want to see space , not your old prom dress. DINING AREA Keep the table simple—one clean centerpiece. No piles of mail, no projects, no chaos. LIVING AREAS
