If you’re about to place a property on the market, you likely have a long to-do list including power washing the deck, putting away clutter, and trimming the bushes. In addition to these tasks, it’s worth putting some items into a storage unit before selling. Here are a few reasons why.

How Do Storage Units Help Homeowners Sell Their Property?

1. Personal Items

When staging a house, it’s critical to remove personal items from your home. Putting your items—such as photo frames and books—in a storage unit creates a blank slate so that potential buyers can easily picture their own furniture and belongings in the house. As a result, you’ll sell your home quicker.  

2. Bigger House

Many real estate agents recommend limiting the amount of furniture in a house when selling. By keeping a few pieces in each room, you’ll make the spaces look bigger without adding on any square footage. For example, keep one coffee table, a couch, and a TV stand in the living room. Place any extra furniture, such as additional coffee tables and bookshelves, in a storage unit to create the illusion of more space.

3. Easy Moving

Moving everything you own from one home to the next is a big task. By moving some of your items into a storage unit, you’ll have more room to pack up your items. Additionally, you can place your valuable items in storage while you’re packing so that they don’t get damaged during the moving process.
