Selling a place..

I never knew how much it took to get a place ready to sell. I know have a better understanding.. one day and section of the place at a time. You have to clean the place from top to bottom.. and then you can evaluate the place and see what you will need to do to get the home in a 'show' ready atmosphere. We have gone to many open houses. It's different from home to home. For instance, we have gone to a house where they obviously didn't care about how the house looked. Because one of the bedrooms were not only cluttered with crap but the bed was just the mattress on the ground.. with the covers ruffled up and clothes all over. to the kitchen not being nice.. and then to where the owners obviously do not live in the place anymore and either it is empty or 'staged' where they rented the furniture. i appreciate seeing furniture in a place. it gives me a better understanding of how our things will look. plus when i look at homes i open up all the doors and cabinets to see everything. and what's inside. yes i am nosey...

so with that i started to clean the place.. now i have decided to pack items that we won't need or use for the next 3 or so month.. this will get the clutter out. and by cleaning and getting ready it is making me throw stuff out that we don't need anymore. so i started last night by cleaning my closet. my closet now has items that i fit and there is no crap lying around. i already have a list of to dos..

like i said one down and ten million more to go. let the nesting beginning.
