If you’re getting ready to sell your home, starting the packing process is super helpful! A clean, open space makes your home feel bigger, brighter, and more appealing to buyers. Plus, when you receive offers, you will be well on the way to getting ready for your move! ! Here’s how to streamline your home in five simple steps.
1. Start Small and Focus on One Area at a Time
Packing your entire home can feel overwhelming, so break it down into manageable sections. Start with a single room, a closet, or even just a drawer. Work your way through the house methodically rather than trying to tackle everything at once.
2. Sort Items into Keep, Donate, and Toss Piles
For each item you come across, ask yourself: Do I use this regularly? Does it serve a purpose? Does it add value to my space? If the answer is no, it’s time to let it go. Create three piles:
Keep: Items you still need and will take with you.
Donate/Sell: Gently used items that someone else might find useful.
Toss: Anything broken, outdated, or no longer usable.
3. Clear Off Surfaces and Minimize Décor
Buyers want to envision themselves living in your home, which means keeping things neutral
and simple. Clear off kitchen counters, bathroom vanities, and tabletops. Keep decorative items minimal—think one or two stylish pieces instead of a collection.
4. Tackle Storage Spaces—Buyers Will Look!
Closets, cabinets, and the garage tend to collect clutter, but these are spaces buyers will
inspect. Organize closets to showcase storage potential. Invest in stylish storage, shelf dividers, or baskets to create a tidy and appealing look. A well-organized storage space signals that your home has ample room and has been well cared for.
5. Remove Excess Furniture to Create an Open Flow
Too much furniture can make a room feel cramped. Consider removing oversized or
unnecessary pieces to create an open, spacious feel. Renting a storage unit can be a great
option if you need a temporary place to keep things. A more open layout makes your home feel bigger and more inviting to buyers.
