When you take out as much furniture as possible, you might think the room looks empty. You definitely don’t want to set off any red flags like that! And as unfair as it sounds, a buyer may look at the banged up coffee table and assume that your home itself hasn’t been well taken care of. Plus, if your furniture is on the older side, it’s not putting your home in the best light. They won’t want seating for 10 in the family room. Big win! Buyers aren’t going to miss those extra side tables or coffee table. This may feel like an extreme measure but it’s completely worth it.įor one thing, taking out extra furniture instantly makes your home look larger. Think banged up corners, worn or torn fabric, old and tired throw pillows and blankets, etc. You want to remove any furniture that’s crowding your rooms and anything that’s not in excellent shape. If you’re someone’s guest, you may feel welcome and at ease but you’re still not quite “at home.” When you’re in a decluttered vacation home, you’ll be able to relax and enjoy it like it’s your own. It’s the difference between being a guest in someone’s home and being at a well-appointed vacation home. When you take our personality out of your home, you leave room for the buyer to imagine herself living there.



Home buyers want large spacious rooms and decluttering is the fastest and easiest way to achieve that impression – no renovations needed! One of the first things a realtor will tell you is to clean and declutter before moving. There’s nothing like the idea of moving to make it oh-so-much easier to let go of all that clutter!
