And If You Really Plan to Make a Move....

October 5, 2007


If you are seriously considering making a move in the next year, sooner or later,

doing some of the repairs or renovations may be well worth your while. Some will be costly, others just require your labor.


One of the really important steps to take in preparation for a move is the sorting of your "stuff". This means cleaning closets. Donating all the clothes you never wear to your local charity. Looking through those boxes of memorabilia to determine which are really, really important to you. Organizing drawers and cupboards and creating open space as much as possible. So often, I have heard buyer prospects say "I don't envy these sellers when they go to pack." Your task is to clear as many of your belongings out of the house. This will permit buyer prospects to picture how they would place their "stuff" in your spaces.


So, if you really are going to move, make your inventory and start the repair, renovation and reduction process. You might even decide to stay because you have now create such an appealing home!
