Clutter-free interiors allow potential home buyers to see all of the home can offer — resulting in a shorter sales and a higher selling price. The fewer items there are in a home, the easier it is for a home shopper to visualize the space of their own.  I pick up some good declutter tips from the PODS. Over 80 % real estate agents agree with de-clutter homes helps the sells but only 30% of the listing agents were actually de-clutter their listings.  Some sellers are serious about selling you should go over with your home to de-clutter them.

Offer these easy decluttering tips to home owners:

1. If an item hasn’t been used in three months, box it up and take it offsite.

2. Limit items in closets and drawers to make them seem more spacious.

3. Remove excess and or worn furniture to create more room. The old files, books and memorabilia should be stored away from the house. You could rent the a mini storage to store them.

4. Remove excess and or worn furniture to create more room.

5. Pack away off-season clothes. Buyers value storage. Don’t just stash items in the basement or the garage - take them offsite.

6. Remove excess items from decks, driveways and the yard, including kids toys and pool supplies

7. Park away additonal car or cars you don’t drive often.

Don’t foget to maintain the de-cluttered home during the home is on the market to sell.
