When you move to your next home,
you'll need to pack - right? First,
however, you'll probably want to sell
your existing home. Once it's sold,
you'll begin packing. Here's a novel
approach to packing which can make
you move happen faster.
Most homeowners have years, if not
decades, of collected household
belongings. They're in the closets,
hung on the walls, or stacked in the
garage. Pictures, family photos,
knick-knacks, antiques and other
family treasures are everywhere.
They mean a lot to your family.
To the future owners of your home,
however, all those belongings clutter
the decision-making process. It is
difficult for a prospective buyer to
imagine a home as they would
furnish it when it is filled to the brim
with the belongings of the present
owner. So, here's a suggestion that
will speed up your sale.
Pack now! Before the prospect ever
sees your home, pack away
everything you can. Empty the hall
closets, remove unused furniture,
and stack newly packed boxes in the
attic or garage. In short, let buyers
see an uncluttered, well organized
home in which they can imagine
their own belongings.
While you're at it, remove personal
items from sight in the bathrooms.
Pack away out-of-season clothing
that makes your bedroom closet look
small and crowded. Home buyers
are looking for their dream home.
Help make those dreams come true!
