Home Sellers: The Power of Renting a Storage Unit

August 28th, 2023 by Haring Realty

Renting a Storage Unit - Sell a Home | Haring Realty

Selling your home and moving is stressful and exhausting, especially if you have occupied the house for several years. But our REALTORS® have some suggestions to minimize both, starting with renting a storage unit. Take a look at how a unit can make your life easier.

Say Goodbye to Clutter
Prospective home buyers want to imagine themselves comfortable in their new home. Personal photographs and collections are a distraction from their vision. When you remove items that identify you as the owner, they feel more welcome in the space and can see their decor filling it. A small unit is perfect for these as well as maintenance tools like lawnmowers, leaf blowers, and rakes.
A Storage Unit Offers the Gift of Time
A mid-sized unit can allow you to spread out packing over time to help you avoid a last-minute crunch. Packing off-season clothing and equipment, sports gear, and infrequently used items such as seasonal decor will give you a big jump in the packing process. A storage unit means you can continue living comfortably where you are without climbing over boxes.
Create a Spacious View of the House
If you've been looking online at Bucyrus homes for sale, you've probably seen photographs of homes crowded with oversized furniture, laundry rooms with full hampers, and bedrooms cluttered with toys. Many people sell their homes "as is" and still get a good price. But remember, customers shop with their eyes first. Why not maximize your sale price by showing off your home in its most flattering light? Making your home stand out from the rest is the best way to get the highest offer and potential bidding wars on the property. Wide open spaces created by carefully staged homes make the house appear larger and more welcoming.
Establish a Safe Space to Sell
Many people have furniture and other items they don't want to take with them, but they are too valuable to donate or give away. And they might be uncomfortable having strangers come to the house to buy them. Most storage facilities have cameras and onsite managers to add a level of safety to the transaction you would not have at home. By selling the items at a facility, you do not expose the fact that you are moving or that the home may be unoccupied for a time.
Simplify Moving Day
Whether you are engaging professional movers for a cross-country move or asking a few friends with trucks to pitch in locally, everyone will appreciate the steps they save moving organized household goods from storage as opposed to packing and moving from a full house. You will save them time and energy. By doing so, you may save money if you are paying hourly rates. Speaking of saving time, cutting down the total moving time will mean a much easier day for you. By clearly labeling the boxes, you can put each in the appropriate room in your new home, making settling in much easier as well. As an aside, it is a good idea to pack a single box with all the immediate-need items, such as medications and toiletries, and keep that box with you so you don't have to search for it later.

If you plan to sell or buy in the Bucyrus area, our licensed professionals are here to help. Contact us at your earliest convenience to discuss your property needs and how we can help you meet them.
