31 Days to Sell Your Home: Day 2 – Decluttering for Buyers
🧹 Decluttering for Buyers: Small Steps, Big Impact
Decluttering is one of the cheapest and most effective ways to prepare your home for sale. Why? Because buyers need space — not just physical space, but mental breathing room to imagine their life in your home.
And nothing shrinks a room faster than piles of paperwork, crowded counters, or that chair covered in laundry.
Where to Start
You don’t have to rent a dumpster or clear out your basement today. Just start small and strategic.
Here are three “quick win” zones that make a major visual difference:
- Kitchen countertops
- Entryway (shoes, coats, drop zone)
- Bathroom vanities
Set a timer for 15 minutes and knock out just one area. You’ll be amazed at the shift.
Why This Works
Buyers aren’t looking at your clutter — they’re reacting to how it makes them feel.
A tidy space feels bigger, brighter, calmer.
A cluttered one feels like work.
The cleaner the space, the easier it is for buyers to emotionally move in — and that’s the goal.
👉 One Action to Take Today:
Pick one drawer, cabinet, or surface.
Clear it. Wipe it down.
Throw away or box up anything you don’t need in the next 30 days.
(If it feels easy, keep going. If it feels like a lot — that’s enough.)
