hints and tips
Here are some simple hints to help you get organised...
-
First Impressions Count
Real estate agents regard "first impression" improvements such as de-cluttering rooms and cupboards to be one of the most effective ways to make a great first impression to potential buyers when putting your home on the market.

Early bird or night owl?
When are you most energetic ... morning, afternoon or evening? De-cluttering and organising at your peak energy level time will allow you to be at your most productive.

A little bit at a time
By breaking larger de-cluttering projects down into smaller, more manageable chunks, you will stay more focused and achieve your goals more often. Start off with just one drawer, shelf or cupboard and experience the satisfaction and achievement of making a start.

What to wear?
To de-clutter your wardrobe, turn all the hangers so they are facing the same way. After wearing and washing your clothes, return them to the wardrobe with the hanger facing the opposite direction. After one month, any clothes still facing the original way have not been worn, and will make your decision about what stays and what goes much easier.

Plan before you buy storage products
Before you rush out and buy storage products, do a bit of planning. Organise first, measure next, buy last. That way you save money by only buying what you need.

Selling the space in your home
Selling your home is not just about selling the appeal of the house itself. It is also about selling space. The more space you are able to offer, whether it is living or storage space, the bigger the appeal to potential buyers.

Promises, promises
Do you keep making promises to yourself that you WILL get that space de-cluttered or organised .... one day? You may have the skills, but just not the motivation. Using the services of a Professional Home Organiser is a great way to kick-start your de-cluttering and organising jobs and get those de-cluttering juices flowing once again.

Lack of space, or simply disorganised?
About 80% of the clutter in your home is a result of disorganisation, not lack of space. The trick is to minimise your clutter and maximise your space. Disorganisation seems to melt away when this is achieved.

-
No more late fees
Tired of late fees? Try keeping ALL of your pending bills in one folder or file, labeled "Bills to be paid", and keep them near where you pay your bills for easy access when you are ready to pay a bill.

-
Help buyers see themselves in your home
When selling your home, personal items such as photographs, trophies, souvenirs, family heirlooms, cosmetics, and personal hygiene products all distract the buyer from seeing themselves in your home. If your hobby is collecting particular items, it is best to put them away.
