Declutter to Impress & Cash In!

by Ernest Van Glahn

Turn clutter into cash and make your home shine for potential buyers.

Are you thinking of selling your home? The first step to making a strong impression on buyers is simple — start with a clean slate. Decluttering not only makes your home feel bigger, brighter, and more inviting, but it can also help fund those last-minute touch-ups and repairs.

✨ Here’s what to clear out (and possibly cash in on):

👜 Unused handbags & accessories
If they haven’t seen daylight in months, it’s time to let them go. These items are perfect for online marketplaces or consignment shops.
📚 Old books you’ve already read
Make room on your shelves by donating or selling your gently used reads. Minimalism speaks volumes in staging!
🪑 Furniture that clutters the space
Less is more. Remove bulky or excess furniture to highlight your home’s layout and space potential.
👕 Clothes you haven’t worn in 6+ months
Chances are, if you haven’t reached for it in half a year, it’s safe to say goodbye. Bag them up for donation or resale apps.
🎮 Electronics collecting dust
Outdated or unused tech can be sold or recycled — and it clears visual noise from your home.
🍽️ Extra kitchen gadgets
Streamline your counters and cabinets by packing away (or parting with) that fondue set or fifth blender.
