Simple Home Seller’s Self Storage Tips for House Staging

You’re selling your home, and your real estate agent tells you to get rid of half of the furniture and all of the clutter in order to sell. You take a second to digest this information, another second or two to pick up your jaw from the floor, and wonder: “What am I going to do with all of my stuff?”

Renting a self storage unit can be the perfect answer for staging your home and getting results. According to real estate agents, decluttering and cleaning are the top recommendations for selling your home quickly. As little as $200 spent can increase the value of your house by as much as $2,000. When you look at it in those terms, there really is no reason not to use storage space as a means to a quick and profitable sale.

Declutter and organize

After a few years, a decade or longer in your home, you’ve definitely accumulated things. Now is a great time to evaluate what can be put away in a self storage unit, what can be sold or donated, and what might be best to throw out. Some sentimental items, like family heirlooms and antiques, and seasonal sports gear usually earn their places in the “keep” pile easily, but other household items may not be so easy a decision. This decluttering and organizing process will probably end up taking more time that you originally thought, so be sure to start well ahead of your desired move date so you don’t end up moving unwanted items to your new space.

Make moving easy on yourself—and clear your guilty conscience—by simply discarding (or recycle or donating) old magazines and newspapers, unread books, unwatched DVDs and anything else you’ve unearthed while decluttering your home to sell. Boxes of unused items are not only essential to get rid of when selling your home, but they also beg the question “Do I want to be lugging them around for the rest of my life?” Better yet, put your unwanted items that have some value to good use. Yard sales, online auctions and classifieds are perfect solutions for those items.
