How to Prepare for Selling Your Existing Home
If you are feeling overwhelmed by clutter and other belongings, it can be challenging to know where to begin. Here’s a handful of tips for decluttering and cleaning before moving.
– Unused items: for different home items, we like following the rule of purging items that you have not used in the last year or so. If an item does not have a “home” and it doesn’t bring you usage or joy, it is time to say goodbye. If you make the choice to move into a new home for sale in Southern Pennsylvania, you will be a lot happier only bringing items with you that you actually use and love.
– Older clothes and linens: sort through your drawers and closets to clean out clothing that might be worn out, stained, or no longer fits you. Look at items like sheets and towels, too. Throw away the ones that have seen better days and donate items that are gently used but no longer useful to you.
– Expired household items: if it feels like you’re in need of more storage space, you might need to toss expired items. Look at the expiration dates on all personal care products, medications, and food in your fridge and pantry. This will also help you get a better idea of what type of storage you’ll need while looking at homes for sale in Southern Pennsylvania.
– Older paperwork: receipts, mail, bills, and other kinds of paperwork will tend to pile up for a long time after they’re helpful to us. Go through piles of paperwork that you’ve got and file the important documents, then shred anything else for recycling.
