It\u2019s important to contain and, in fact, erase clutter for three reasons :<br \/>\n\u25e6 Gain more square footage.<br \/>\n\u25e6 Showcase the positive features in the home.<br \/>\n\u25e6 Buyers can visualize living in the space.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Clutter comes in all different forms and it lingers in most homes. So if you see piles of paperwork, clothes on the floor, stuffed closets \u2014 it\u2019s time to declutter! Here are some tips :<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>1. Start small.<\/strong> Organizing is an evolving process that changes as the needs of a home owner change. Start small: One room, one closet, one corner. Just start somewhere! To make it count, tackle the first cluttered area a home buyer would see as they walk into the home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2. Schedule it.<\/strong> Many times a home owner never starts the decluttering process because of time constraints. Schedule blocks of time (2-4 hours) or even just 15 minutes a day depending on what needs to be organized to make your goal a reality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3. Find a home.<\/strong> One reason why clutter can build up in a home is if an item is homeless. Creating a place for each item in your home is a crucial part to obtaining an organized home. Of course, keeping the space in order only happens when you return an item back to it\u2019s home after use.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4. Adopt \u201cgood habits.\u201d<\/strong> By always returning an item home, you\u2019re building in a maintenance system in your organizing process. Another good habit to adopt is to take 5-10 minutes every night and put items away. This way when you wake up in the morning, the house is ready to show off.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/styledstagedsold.blogs.realtor.org\/2016\/01\/18\/4-ways-to-help-a-home-seller-tackle-clutter\/\" target=\"_blank\">4 Ways to Help a Home Seller Tackle Clutter<\/a> by Tori Toth | Realtor.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most cost-effective ways to prepare a home for sale is to organize it, but I know for many home sellers it\u2019s no easy task.
