Declutter Your “Home for Sale” in Shreveport

Why is decluttering so important for selling your home in Shreveport?

Decluttering is the process of removing excess items that can make a home feel small and look messy, which detracts from your beautiful home. Clutter also distracts your buyer’s from focusing on the valuable parts of the home, and instead makes them want to offer less than the market value asking price.

Complete these 5 decluttering and organizing tasks – even if you touch nothing else in your home.

#1. Kitchens: Clear the counters. Neatly tuck away larger items that are on top the counters. You can use matching containers to stash piles for an instant organized look. Wash and buff the counters for a crisp, clean, clear look. Buff the sink faucet too.

#2. Bathrooms: Clear the counters and ledges. Use matching containers to store items under sink area or in a linen closet. Simple decorative items, like a plant or candle, can stay to create a spa style look.

#3. Closets: Clear the floors of the closet. Yes, clear them. Vacuum, sweep, mop. In a clothing closet, you may leave shoe shelves or neatly line shoes up, if necessary. If you really can’t get the floor cleared, make the items inside neat and tidy. Use matching containers lined up, for an organized look.

#4. Corners: Clear the corners of rooms. With the exception of pantries or utility closets, remove items leaning in corners, piled in corners, or blocking corners. If large pieces of furniture are pressed into a corner and they can be pulled away from the corner, pull them away. Obviously, some pieces of furniture are best placed in the corner, like a sectional or caddy-cornered armoire.

#5. Entryway: Make sure the door fully opens without hitting an entry table or other item. You may be surprised at how many homes I’ve been in, where the entry wasn’t welcoming because there was too much in a small entry way. Remove items that constrict flow into the home.

Your dream home owner is searching for the home that welcomes and beckons them inside your home!
