Fall is the perfect time for several homeowners to sell their homes, pack up, and move to a new place. However, this process is generally stressful. For sellers, it is easy to be overwhelmed with everything that needs to be prepared before they put their house up for sale in the market and begin the process of packing. There are so many things to organize and a lot of details to deal with. Here are some home organizing tips to help you get started.

Home Organizing Tips Before Selling Your House

Declutter before you sell.

Don’t allow paper and other items to pile up on desks, countertops, and tables. Keep horizontal surfaces clean and clear visual clutter. This lets possible homebuyers see the space without any distraction.

Cut Back Before You Sell

Overstuffing cupboards, filing cabinets, bookcases, closets, and other storage spaces in your house is a big no to possible buyers. It says insufficient storage. Limiting and cutting back on the number of things you keep in these spaces tells your potential buyer that you have enough and abundant storage area.

You need to organize your house if it is messy. However, knowing what to do is one thing. If you don’t know how to start with home organizing, it can be difficult to move forward when you are overwhelmed by clutter.

Professional organizers say that the path forward is not so difficult. All you have to do is ask a few questions and then create a plan. Ask yourself these questions: What room do you feel most embarrassed to show family or friends? What room in your house do you identify as chaotic, overwhelming, or disaster?

Once you’ve identified what is most overwhelming, create a game plan. Setting a goal is key to completing any home organizing task successfully. Fill in the following sentence: “By _____ date, I will _____, so that I could _____.” Next, think about logistical questions like how you plan on achieving your goal and when it can be achieved.

We can help you get started if you have any questions. Professional organizers were asked how they would organize each room in your house. Their tips are well worth the effort.

declutter, home staging, professional organizer home staging

The term home staging wasn’t that common back in the 1990s. People knew that a house must look its best first before it’s put on the market. However, homeowners associated this with washing dirty dishes, tidying up the closet, and the like.

Home staging has evolved over the past 30 years. Thanks to the help of professional organizers, it has become a highly sought after service, especially within the real estate industry. Below are some tips on how to stage your home’s living room. In case you can’t do these things on your own, you always have the option to hire a home stager.

Living Room Home Staging Basics

Paint Your Living Room

You might think that repainting your house before you move is a tiring job. But if the color of the walls is other than light and neutral, you seriously have to reconsider. Neutrals can make any room look brighter and cleaner, not to mention, that it’s almost always preferred by home buyers.

Always remember that when you sell your home, it will no longer be about what you want. It is going to be about the buyers. If you want to sell your house right away at your preferred price, it needs to appeal to as many potential buyers as possible and one of the best ways to do it is by choosing neutral colors. Additionally, adding a fresh coat of paint to your home makes it look cleaner, which is vital when it comes to home staging.

You can get more done in a shorter time. You can spend less time at work, which allows you to finish jobs quicker, return home sooner to your family, and take breaks as needed.

There is more work than you can do on your own.

Your business is booming, and many of your clients are looking to have their entire houses remodeled. It’s a pleasure to do this, but it will take up weeks to complete one client for 40 hours. This leaves you little time for your other clients.

Depending on who you hire, it will be possible to do two jobs at once or speed up the big jobs, which can allow you more time for your clients.

Now is the time. You’ve probably been preparing for this for quite some time. It’s Saturday, and the kids and husband are not home. You finally have the chance to declutter. You’ve already come up with a renovation plan for each room of your home and you have a pretty good idea of what you want to happen and where you should begin.

You begin in your closet. You are loving it and you know what you wish to achieve. You are taking out all of your clothes and you’ve began purging. Then your husband comes in and you wonder why he’s home early. But when you check the time, you realize that you’ve been at it for six hours. And during that period you just managed to edit your “organize time” list, filled up some donation bags, and filled your room with shoes and clothes.

You ask yourself, why it took you so long to finish. You feel defeated, overwhelmed, and exhausted. Don’t be! Don’t allow your disorganization get you down. Any normal individual will feel overwhelmed when it comes to decluttering their entire house all at once. But with a few changes to your game plan, you’ll be on your way to having an organized home.

You may have that one friend who is an example of organization. They seem to live a clutter-free life. It’s something you keep meaning to do but avoid doing. An organizer can help you get organized. Find the right professional organizer for you.

Finding The Best Professional Organizer

Refer to References

Referrals, as with many service professionals, are the best way to get recommendations and information about their work and processes.

Before you hire a professional organizer, or anyone who will visit your home to do a task, get three or more references. You should verify that the professional organizer you are looking to hire is a member of NAPO, which offers extensive training as well as certifications. Although a professional organizer does not need to be a NAPO member in order to do a great job, NAPO members must adhere to certain standards.

donate

You can pack the “marinating” things and label the box with six-month-to-one year date. You can safely dispose of those items if you don’t open the box by that date.

You can make your organizing project run faster by following these steps:

You can make rules about what you keep and what you throw away. For example, in your closet, you might decide to throw away clothing that is not the right size, stained or damaged. You can also decide to dispose of anything older than one year with periodicals.
