Tips for Decluttering Your Home

Just living produces stuff. A lot of it. But unkempt junk is the one thing you won't want when you are wanting to sell your house for top dollar. In fact, nothing can turn a potential buyer off faster or send him running faster than a house that looks like a garbage dump. The single most cost-effective method of enhancing the resale value of your home is to literally clean house.

To get you started, click on the video clip above.  You will see that it offers some useful decluttering tips. Before you know it, your home will have a delightfully open feeling and your buyers will be taking a second look.

There are multiple ways to do this, but all of them start with a take-no-prisoners attitude and a garbage bag. If your house is a total disaster zone, it will be worth your time to rent a dumpster.

"But what about yard sales?" you ask. "Can't I sell my stuff for cash?" Maybe, but only if you have hours of excess time on your hands. For most harried people, it is simpler to donate the best items to a non-profit organization, have those picked up and then have the leftover things hauled away.

There are agencies and charities that are happy to take your unwanted things and dispose of them for you. Just do a Google search for donation services in Mobile, Alabama or whatever town you are located.
