After selling, homeowners can benefit from decluttering and downsizing their belongings to make the moving process smoother and less stressful. Here are some of the things you can do to your belongings:
- Only take what you will use.
- Break down the decluttering process into smaller tasks to lighten the stress load and make it feel like an adventure pursued gradually.
- Sell, donate, or share. Categorize items into keep, store, sell, donate, or toss.
- You can learn a lot with Marie Kondo, known for her decluttering method, and alternative approaches like “Swedish Death Cleaning” for you are interested in a minimalist lifestyle.
- Hire a certified member of professional organizing associations, especially if you can’t handle the task on your own.
- You can group items into categories, such as selling midcentury modern furniture, donating to trustworthy sources, or calling a local trash-hauling company for items to toss.
- Store items off-site, but consider it as a temporary solution and avoid storing items long-term to prevent unnecessary accumulation.
This information can help sellers effectively declutter and manage items, making moving easier and less costly, and also beneficial for those seeking to live more simply in their current residence.
