Once you have an idea of where you will go, you will be able to determine which items to keep and what to do with the rest of your belongings.

Some people aren't nostalgic and don't hold on to things they no longer use. For those people, making the decision to let go is easy. 

For others, letting go of their belongings may be challenging. If there is an emotional attachment to your belongings, you will need to work through letting go.

You can begin decluttering by selling the items you no longer need. If you will be eliminating the majority of your belongings, an estate sale can be a great option. Otherwise, you can sell your items at consignment stores, by hosting a garage sale, offering them on Facebook Marketplace or other online websites.  

You may decide to offer some of your belongings to family and friends.  Donating is also a great option. There are many donation centers that accept items that are in good condition.  Most centers will pick up your donations at your home, but you will need to schedule well in advance.  Donating provides funds for good causes while providing you with a tax write-off.  

After selling, giving away and donating your items, anything remaining can be taken to a recycle center or put to the curb for trash pickup. Click below for additional options such as junk removal, disposal of hazardous waste and paper shredding, as well. 

Establishing the right impression from the moment the buyers walk through your front door is crucial to attracting a strong offer in a quick timeframe.  As your Realtor, Debbie will provide you with tips on preparing your home for the market in order to showcase its best features. This includes providing suggestions for cost-effective repairs and improvements along with access to Debbie’s network of trusted professionals. 

Finding your next home and knowing when to place your current one on the market can feel overwhelming and confusing. Debbie will work with you to create a plan to move you from your current home to your next one with ease, when possible. 

When hiring movers, you want to be sure that you choose a reputable company.  Ask questions. How do they protect your belongings? What happens if they damage something? Are they bonded and insured? Can their quote change at the time of the move or is it binding? For a referral to a reputable moving company, contact Debbie.
