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.
