31 Days to Sell Your Home: Day 20 – Yes, the Garage Counts

🚗 The Garage Isn’t a Free-for-All
Buyers are judging every inch — and that includes your garage. A cluttered, cobwebbed space screams “not enough storage.”

Why It Matters:

  • Garages can make or break the storage equation
  • They tell buyers how well the home has been maintained
  • A clean garage = peace of mind

What to Do:

  • Clear out unnecessary stuff (no, they don’t want your old paint cans, even for “touch up”)
  • Sweep, dust, and wipe down surfaces
  • Organize tools, bikes, and bins — shelves or pegboards help
  • Show space for a car (or at least prove it’s possible)

Bonus Points:
Add a fresh bulb or LED strip. Dark garages are creepy.

👉 One Action to Take Today:
Open your garage door like a buyer would. If you feel slightly embarrassed, start there.
