Self storage units can be lifesavers for homeowners preparing to sell their house and buy another. Selling any home can be difficult, but selling a home filled with lots of large furniture, too many belongings, or clutter can sabotage a sale. Prospective homebuyers are drawn to houses they can imagine living in and turned off by cluttered spaces. By renting a unit from a secure storage facility, you can clear out your belongings and make your house wow more prospective buyers. 

Benefits of a Self Storage Unit When Selling Your House

1. It Aids Open Houses

Some realtors recommend leaving some furniture and decorations in a home that’s up for sale so that homebuyers can get an idea of what it will look like if they turn it into a home. To be effective, a room should feel as uncluttered and open as possible, which might mean moving some belongings elsewhere temporarily. There are various sizes of self storage units that can accommodate entire living rooms and bedrooms full of furniture. 

2. It Makes Taking Photos Easier

Some homeowners snap photos of their interior without care, not realizing the images they post to real estate sites can turn away homebuyers. Instead of stressing over how to keep those piles of books or extra furniture out of the frame, moving those items somewhere safe can make any room more visually appealing and allow you to photograph it for maximum effect.  

3. It Benefits Your Ultimate Move to a New Home

Large pieces of furniture can be a chore on moving day. By moving them to a storage unit, you can keep them safe until you’re ready to move to a new house and visualize your dream layout.
