Clutter: saying goodbye is the hardest part!
De-cluttering is the hardest thing for people to do because they are emotionally attached to everything in their home. After years of living in the same place, clutter creeps up on you in such a way that may not be immediately evident. It does affect the way your buyer will see the home, even if you do not realize it.

Clutter gathers on shelves, counter tops, drawers, closets, garages, attics, and basements. You want as much open space as possible, so every extra little thing needs to be cleared away. Perhaps you can store your items at an off-site storage facility if you can’t bear to part with your things!

Try not to be defensive, but take a step back and pretend you are the buyer. Let a friend point out areas of clutter and let your real estate professional, Arlene Guastella help as well.
