How to Get Rid off Condo Clutter!

Living in a condo doesn’t really give you much room to hide away all of your “stuff” that you just can’t part with.  And it builds up and up and up and UP until you realize that it’d become clutter and a decluttering is needed.

I always try to help clients with storage solutions as this is always a major concern for many.  Using bins and under the bed organizers help keep the clutter at bay and out of sight.  But if you’ve exhausted all of your hiding spots and still have clutter kicking around follow these few steps to help you get on track.

1)     If you haven’t worn it for a year get rid of it! – This goes for all seasons – if you have clothing that you haven’t worn for over a year as a general rule you should pitch it.  Of course there are some exceptions – but if you stick to this rule your closets will be lean and trim.

2)     Knickknacks have to go! – Gone are the days when having shelves upon shelves of knickknacks was cool – the trend now is less is best.  Of course displaying a few interesting pieces is always acceptable, rocks from the 67 countries you visited 20 years ago is just a dust collector and clutter.

3)     Clear those counter tops! – Stacks of papers, bills, and cards are always conveniently left on counter tops or on top of different appliances.  I am not entirely sure why, or why the stacks continue to grow as well – but this is one of the major culprits for clutter.  Organize your papers, bills, and cards as you receive them in some type of filing system that is neat and tidy. 

4)     Straighten those books! – Disorganized bookshelves are a breeding ground for clutter – in them various things can be found that don’t really belong there.  Start by organizing your books, pitching any books that you’ve outgrown.  Or likely will never read again.  Book collections are great – and you can have a million e-books in just one device, instead of a cluttered bookshelf.

5)     Reorganize your furniture – There are many ways that the set up of your home creates a cluttered feeling.  If you live in a condo – not overdoing it with furniture is very important, or the cramped no space feeling starts to sink in.  Try reorganizing your furniture to optimize space and reduce the cluttered feeling.

There are many professional organizers out there that offer help to those searching for storage solutions.  Toronto Condos are getting smaller and smaller and the necessity for organizing becoming increasingly important.  This is also proven true in new condo developments that are incorporating different storage solutions into the unit itself.  It takes time and energy, but once you’ve decluttered your home – there will be significant improvements in your life as well.

How To List You House For Sale

How To List Your House For Sale?

When you make the decision to sell your house, there are many things that need to be done in order to list it, and to be successful at it.  There is nothing worse than listing your home, and having it sit there with no movement for what seems to be forever.  Here are some helpful hints to get you on track when it comes to listing your home.

Firstly, and this may seem like a no brainer – you need to make sure that your house is up to par for listing.  This could mean little things like cleaning up house, grooming your landscape, de-cluttering the garage, small things that over time accumulate and are usually left for rainy days that never happen. Along with this, getting your OWN home inspection done is always a good idea.  You’ll be able to either rest assured that your house is good to go, or you will know in advance of any defects that may deter people from buying.

Secondly, it’s important to have your property evaluated by a professional. Sure it’d be great to list your house at whatever price you fancy – but that wont help you, and realistically, although profiting off of the sale would be ideal, it may not be as realistic as you had hoped.  There are many factors that can affect the value of your home, and understanding them upfront will help you realistically set a reasonable price point to work from.

Thirdly, time it right.  There are obvious hot peaks for houses to sell, and people to move.  If you are selling a family home, you need to time it right so that the move would happen in the summer months.  Homes that go up for sale in the winter, sometimes sit for ages before there is even a nibble.  Timing is key, so make sure that you are aware of the recent trends.

Once you are almost ready to list your home, it is important to know how to present your home to potential buyers.  While they wont be buying your furniture or knickknacks, it is of utmost importance to stage it right.  Tricks on how to make small spaces seem bigger, and how to brighten a room, or take attention away from something are all things that need to be done when you successfully stage your home.  Professionals can help you with this, and I highly recommend it.

The last thing that you can do to prepare yourself to list your home is to decide if you are going to sell it by owner – or if you are going to go through an agent.  There are pros and cons to each side, however when it comes to someone who is inexperienced when it comes to marketing, negotiating, and closing deals, I highly recommend going through an agent.  They can help you with all of these steps, and help you get your house on the market at the right time for a quick sell.  They have a professional network of people that can help you get things in order, before, during and after the process. 

Either route you decide to go, listing your home for sale is a process that should not be taken lightly.  There is a lot of work that goes into it, and a lot of time invested.  Good luck!

The condo market in Toronto is booming, and pre-construction condos are always something that is worthy of an investment.  Contact me today and let’s chat!
