Today I’m here with Tara Stewart, a professional home organizer, to talk about one of the first steps to take when it comes to getting it ready for the market: decluttering. I can personally attest to her skills since she transformed my home office and my son’s bedroom and closet. Tara is a strong believer in “less is more,” which is exactly what you’ll want to keep in mind when decluttering your home. She’ll share some of her best tips and practices to get your home clean and organized before you put it on the market.
