Are you much like me, and not very handy in the home? Do you need to sell but simply cannot afford to have alot of work done or to hire a "stager" to get the work for you? Here is a quick tip to help your home sell a little bit faster!
Evaluate your closet space!
Keep the closets clean. Start by pulling everything out. Are the walls dingy and dirty? Sometimes before you put everything back it is a good idea to paint the walls.
THROW STUFF AWAY!!! Throw out the old clothes you never wear, give those dozens of extra pairs of shoes to the Goodwill. Make it look more spacious by not having it crammed from top to bottom with stuff you never use! Do not leave anything laying on the floor of the closet, it gives a potential buyer the impression that the home lacks storage. Storage is a chief concern to any new home buyer. Pack up the little odds and ends and put them into newer matching storage containers with lids. Neatly stack and arrange the storage containers.
Stand back a little and reevaluate again, does your closet still look overly full or does it now look only slightly full? If it still appears a little crammed, it is time to look elsewhere for some storage. Pack those things you never hardly ever use, and put them in the attic, the garage, or maybe even a storage rental space until the house sells.
The real question is this- "Do people really not buy an entire house because they feel it lacked storage space?" The answer is a resounding YES.
To help your home sell, create the storage space. It really will help.
