Decluttering Tips and PODS (Portable On Demand Storage) Discounts from the Wagner iTeam

A fundamental part of what the Wagner iTeam - Colorado Springs Real Estate Connection does is make people move. At the close of almost every real estate transaction, our Seller clients move OUT OF their old homes and/or our Buyer clients move INTO their new home.

For our Seller clients, we offer the services of one of the best home stagers in Colorado Springs. The number one thing that our stager recommends is to REMOVE CLUTTER.

"Clutter-free interiors allow potential home buyers to appreciate all that a home has to offer -- resulting in a shorter sales cycle and a higher selling price. The fewer items there are in a home, the easier it is for a home shopper to envision the space as their own." - Comment taken from an email I recieved from PODS.com.

Here are 7 tips to help de-clutter your home, taken from PODS.com:

1. If an item hasn't been used in three months, box it up and take it offsite.
2. Limit items in closets and drawers to make them seem more spacious.
3. Old files, books and memorabilia should be stored away from the house.
4. Remove excess and/or worn furniture to create more room.
5. Pack away off-season clothes.
6. Buyers value storage. Don't just stash items in the basement or the garage - take them offsite.
7. Remove excess items from decks, driveways and the yard, including kids toys and pool supplies

Once you have packed up all your clutter, you will want to find a storage unit to store it in. You could rent a truck, rent a storage unit, pack all your stuff into the truck, unpack it into the storage unit and then when you move, rent a truck, unpack the storage unit, pack the truck, and unload the truck into your new home.

Or ... You could rent a PODS - Portable On Demand Storage. A PODS is a storage unit that is delivered to your house that you pack up on your own time. When you are done packing it up, the PODS is picked up and stored and then redelivered to your new home when you move. Wow. Convenience!
