Many homes may look like a magazine ad at first glance, but what is stashed behind doors, in drawers, closets, pantries, basements, garages and attics?  When a buyer tours a home they look in all the nooks and crannies for storage space.  It’s best to box up anything you don’t use every day.

My motto when selling a home is to “live like you’re on vacation.”  This means that all items in every room, including the basement, garage and attic, should be evaluated for regular use.  Buyers know you are moving and are not turned off by boxes.  They will be turned off by clutter in storage areas.

You are moving anyway - box everything NOW!  You will feel ahead of the moving game, have less to move and/or clean, and will really impress buyers with how clean, organized and spacious your home is.
