A Simple Plan

If you are like Ryan, who has lived in their home over 10 years, you have a lot of stuff! This "stuff" typically prevents people from moving into a more suitable environment because of the memories attached. So where do you start?

Downsizing, decluttering, and organizing a home can be a challenging but rewarding process. Here are several options and strategies that Ryan can consider to achieve a more organized living space:

Create a Plan: Outline specific goals for downsizing and decluttering. Break down tasks into manageable steps to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Sort and Purge: Categorize items: Sell, Offer, Retain, Toss. Be ruthless in letting go of items that are no longer useful or meaningful.

Declutter Room by Room: Focus on one room at a time to avoid spreading mess and chaos. Tackle high-clutter areas first, like closets, attics, and basements.

Minimalism: Embrace a minimalist lifestyle by keeping only essential and meaningful items. Consider the functionality and sentimental value of each item.

Digital Decluttering: Organize digital files, photos, and emails. Delete unnecessary files and make use of cloud storage for important documents.

Storage Solutions:

Invest in storage containers, baskets, and shelves to maximize space. Use furniture with built-in storage, such as ottomans or bed frames with drawers.

Capsule Wardrobe:

Consider creating a capsule wardrobe with a limited number of versatile, high-quality clothing items. Donate or sell clothes that are rarely worn or no longer fit.

Sell or Donate Unwanted Items: Host a garage sale or use online platforms to sell items that are in good condition. Donate items to local charities, shelters, or thrift stores.

Why Trust Kelly Johnston?

Do you already know a Real Estate Agent? The answer for most people is Yes. Often there is a family member or close friend who has a real estate license, or even someone you have used in the past.

What we often see is people focusing on the current need to buy or sell their home, and missing out on how the purchase or sale fits into their long-term real estate goals and reacting later in life.

As a Keller Williams (KW) Real Estate planner, our approach to real estate is a bit different. While a Real Estate Agent will focus on the finishing the current transaction a Real Estate Planner helps ensure your current purchase or sale and future decisions you make throughout your lifetime help to achieve your long-term real estate goals.

You will be amazed how a conversation with a KW Certified Real Estate Planner can effect your ability to Build, Protect and Transfer Wealth through real estate.
