How to Declutter When Selling Your House | Clutter Video Tip

[@pollydolly9723]

Another great and TIMELY video! I retire in 6 months and my 2 kids will have finished school and out living their own lives. Serious downsizing! I will have 6 months to declutter, purge, sell and give away what the kids don't want to take with them. I will checkout the websites listed and add to my plan. As a widow, I now only have to please myself. The 6 months prep will be emotionally hard; but the lightening of my soul will be my reward! Thanks again!

Thanks for the "smaller than a baseball" tip. I'll never get there, but it's nice to know the rule.

Great tips for getting your home ready for sale!

[@myhouseprojects5582]

Great thoughts - love your videos. De cluttering is a good thing even if your not selling.

[@LorieMarrero]

Good for you, Polly Dolly! It's so great to be able to do a little at a time, it's so "digestible" that way. Yes, your soul will be lightened! :)

I love all your videos on here, and I've gotten some good tips on how to further organize and declutter my space. But when I go looking at flats I actually prefer for it to be personal and lived in (obviously not dirty). I would find it easier than an empty shell. I enjoy seeing that someone is using the space and obviously love and use it. Maybe it's like buying second hand furniture. I enjoy the knowledge that people have loved and cared for the things I love even before I loved them. I guess I'm funny that way.

+frihed Thank you so much for watching my videos!

I hear this alot, that everything needs to be spotless and clean or your home won't sell. But what they really mean is it won't sell for top dollar. When I looked for a home, I wanted a dirty one, because all the clean ones were priced too high. I bought a dirty one cheap and cleaned it up myself.

RJ Walker Ha, that is a great point! ;)

This was great, I have been researching "organizing your home tips" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Ponrooklyn Xeyichael Secret - (just google it )? It is a good one of a kind product for discovering how to declutter and keep your house tidy minus the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my co-worker got great results with it.

This vid had many helpful tips. Thank you for sharing.

ok heres my question: we havent even had a showing in over a year. how long do you have to live in your house that doesnt even seem like your house because its so de-personalized? we've re-personalized it because we like living in our house with our things obviously. we did have photos taken when it was bare bones minimum and de-personalized... and as i said no showings anyway (real slow around here!) but yeah... how practical is that and how long a time period to be de-personalized?

[@LorieMarrero]

That sounds like a very difficult situation, Ericka. You should talk to a real estate agent about specifics like this. Good luck to you!

[@RobertalWilliams]

Should have shown photos of before and after. Missed a great opportunity to show and tell what you do.

[@LorieMarrero]

You are so sweet! Ha! Valentines special... what would I do? Show how to organize your many Valentines alphabetically by suitor's name? LOL!

[@gloriaj.pinsker9577]

Things are so silly nowadays & people are so spoiled. Years ago people had the sense & imagination to look at a house & see what it was like & realize that the people who live there now will be moving out! Duh! All this staging is just to create another way for people to have to spend more $$. I agree with the decluttering & cleaning but "staging" is over the top of what's necessary, IMO. It's a house, not a Broadway play for goodness sake!

Cheers for this, I've been looking for "eric enge" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Siyamilla Financial Bigshot - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got excellent results with it.

[@JosieJournal]

1st comment!!! :) Anyway, could you make a Valentines special?

[@LorieMarrero]

The house we have is very large, so it doesn't make sense to live here with just the two of us, when the boys will be here only a tiny percentage of the time as guests. It sounds like you are a little more sentimental maybe than I am. ;)

[@debigauthier4836]

You are great, but your videos are all talking. I like examples.

[@carlosmendez3757]

Many thanks, been searching for "your clutter" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Vanonnor Tenhloe Equalizer - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my friend got cool success with it.

[@FinlayBrewerLondon]

No one wants to buy a dirty house. Same with renting a flat. Keeping it clean and presentable will increase your chance for a sale.

[@LorieMarrero]

Finlay Brewer Agreed!
