Wheather you are selling Kennesaw GA real estate or Seattle WA real estate make sure you show Your House, Not Your Stuff
Prepare your home for sale and clear out excess belongings,
great storage and moving idea
How many times have you gone into homes with too much stuff?
Have you looked at photos on line, and see a house that appears cluttered and
cramped? Too much stuff in a house scares away potential buyers, they are
unable to see the size or features of the living space, basement or garage due
to clutter and piled up boxes. Here are some tips to get any house to show it’s
very best and stand out.
Cleaning out excess items is one of the most important tasks
when getting your house ready for sale. The home seller needs to go through every
room including closets, basement, garage, and attic to pack up and remove all
unneeded or no longer wanted items. Too much
furniture and stored items around the home is bad for both photos and showings.
Begin by identifying everything you plan to sell, donate or
throw away and move those items out of the house as quickly as possible. Next,
work with your realtor or home stager to identify the large furniture pieces
and that will work best in the house to stage for photos and showings. All
excess furniture should be marked for storage.
You can pack it up
and temporarily move it into a remote storage locker, which means, renting a
truck, loading and unloading the truck, then reversing the process to new home.
Or you can plan a multi-step move using moving containers from Pods or Rat
Pack.
How it works- the moving container is dropped off at your
house, in your drive way and stays there until you are done with it. You call and they pick up and take to their
climate controlled warehouse. You can
load yourself or have a 3rd party load for you. Load one at a time
and keep for as long as you need.
Once you know where
you are moving; across town or across country, you have all of your containers
shipped to the new location and delivered to your new home as you are ready.
For sellers getting ready to list- have them go through the house and pack up
everything they want to move and does not need to be in the house. Load it and
get it off the property. This will empty out the property and get it in shape
to be staged, photographed and looking great.
Also a good way to store things during renovations, keep it
on the property if you need to access or put away in warehouse.
I have personally used Pack Rat to ready my home for sale and make a cross country move. First to load one container to
stage my home and then loaded 2 more with balance of house. The 3 containers were stored for a few months, shipped to Atlanta and then unloaded one at a time when needed at new location. It was a great experience.
