Removing Your Belongings

It is inevitable. When you sell your house, you will have to go through the time-consuming process of sorting and packing your things to make way for the new owners. You really should not wait until the last minute before you start putting your personal belongings into cardboard boxes. To save yourself time and effort, you can start putting things away the minute you put your house up on sale. You can start by identifying which items you use frequently and which ones can go to storage (and wont be missed) and start packing these. Remove unnecessary furniture pieces and accessories and keep the contents of each room to a bare minimum, leaving only the essentials. Finally, start pulling down personal items and memorabilia like trophies, photos, and other little keepsakes.

Another reason why you should de-clutter your house as early as possible is to prepare the property for open house events. Not only will your house look cleaner and brighter, a neat and de-cluttered house also appeals more to buyers. Buyers sometimes find it difficult to make an unbiased decision when they see a lot of personal mementos all over the place. If sentimentality is not a problem with your potential buyer, having a good imagination may be. With all your belongings still in place, most buyers find it hard to visualize the property with their things in it.

When you have sorted out all your belongings, you have the option of either putting everything in a storage facility (which is often rented out) or simply dispose of all the things you dont need. You can donate these items to charitable institutions (i.e. The Salvation Army, Goodwill, Red Cross), or sell them at garage sales.
