If you’re selling or getting ready to sell your Knoxville area or Farragut home you probably need to “lighten up” the amount of stuff inside.

Living in a house for a number of years, one tends to accumulate lots of stuff. Usually we take far more in than we take out.

Leaning out your closets and garages as well as the rest of the house creates a more spacious appearance and makes it appear larger to your prospective buyers.

Here are a few simple suggestions that can create more space in your Knoxville home and make it more appealing to prospective buyers.

  • Box up and pack anything you won’t be needing for the next 3 months. This is also a great time to get rid of things you rarely or never use anymore. Buyers understand stacks of boxes setting around, after all you’re moving. However they do not understand or like closets stuffed full and overflowing as well as garages that will not hold cars.
  • If you have items you haven’t used in over a year consider selling them or giving them away. Selling your house is a great time for a garage sale. You also should consider looking into charitable donations for items you give to non-profits such as your church or local Goodwill type organizations.
  • Consider renting a storage unit, either a PODS type that sets in your driveway until your move or a rental storage unit off your property.
  • A side benefit to getting rid of ‘stuff’ is that moving companies charge by weight and distance. If you have less stuff your move will weigh less and cost you less.
