Snow Days can mean early Spring Cleaning

Has the novelty of the snow day worn off yet this winter?  Are you thinking of spring each time the weather forecaster predicts another winter storm? Don’t despair but take advantage of your time being home-bound if you are planning on listing your home for sale in the near future. 

Make a list of the projects that need to be completed before potential buyers come through your home.  As much as you would like to think that it doesn't happen, people looking to buy your home, will definitely open your closets and cabinets.  Storage space is a big selling point and buyers will be looking to see if your home can accommodate all of their treasures. 

This is always a touchy subject but maybe it is time to clean out your closets.  All of us hope to one day fit back into that hot outfit that we wore years ago but if you do manage to wear it again should you?  Gone are the days of the large shoulder pads, parachute pants & neon, and all for good reason.  Purge your closets of outdated fashions that make your walk-in look like the Dynasty wardrobe room.  Potential home-buyers will see the storage space and value in your home.

Additionally, unclutter your shelves, cabinets and curios. Overall less is better when it comes to taking up cabinet and counter space. Consider donating things to worthy charities that you will never use or wear again. One in Neptune, NJ is Madonna House that feeds thousands of needy children a month and is not affiliated with any specific charity or government organization.
