A Professional Organizer’s Guide for Home Sellers
Did you know that 93% of realtors recommend decluttering as the top home improvement* when preparing to sell your home? They know that:
Rooms (including closets!) look bigger with less furniture & belongings.
Buyers worry less about hidden problems if they can easily see most of the space, including corners of the basement and attic.
Homes sell more easily if potential buyers aren’t looking at your personal items but can instead picture their own things in the space.
But how can home sellers get started? Decluttering can be an overwhelming process in combination with just regular life demands. Add the big task of getting ready to sell a house, buy a house, and move? Let’s just say, it’s a lot and can easily overwhelm homeowners!
Luckily we can help! We’ve created a prioritized step-by-step guide to decluttering before any buyers come to look at your home.

Benefits of Hiring a Professional Organizer to Prep Your Home for Sale
Here at Grace In Cycles, we are experts on:
Identifying your goals and top priorities. Maybe you have a handle on most of the effort needed to declutter before moving. Maybe you just need help with your overstuffed basement or garage. Maybe you just need help with a DIY organizing plan so you know where to start. We got you covered, on all that and more!
Creating an organizing plan for your move and making that plan happen. It can be hard to know where to start decluttering, how to make the necessary decisions, and how to get rid of the things you’ve decided to let go. We’ll walk you through it all.
Responsibly dealing with the things you no longer want or need. Our in-person services include taking away a carload of donations and recycling after every session, relieving you of that extra step!
In addition to making the decluttering process less stressful for you, hiring us will also help save you time and money when you move! Because you will have fewer things, packing will go more quickly and you won’t pay movers to move things that you don’t even want or need. We may even be able to do some packing for you as we declutter. And for the most organized move, ask about our packing/unpacking services!
But first, take a minute to request and read through our how-to guide on decluttering to sell your home. It will help give you a big picture idea of what’s involved.
