123JUNK Can Help You Sell Your House

When the spring flowers bloom, so does the spring real estate market. It’s as busy as a bee in a field of blossoms. People are out looking for homes to buy and others are sprucing up their houses to show them to their best advantage.

As any Realtor will tell you, you will sell your home faster and for a higher price by doing what they call “staging.” Staging neutralizes a home so that any potential buyers can picture themselves living in the home. Staging also opens up spaces, which in turn, gives the impression of larger rooms and roomier spaces.

Declutter

One of the first pieces of advice a Realtor gives is to “Declutter.” This means putting away personalized items such as photographs and memorabilia, storing extraneous items such as knickknacks and small kitchen appliances, and getting rid of excess, broken or unusable items.

That’s where 123JUNK can help. It’s a big job to clear out a home for a move, so while you’re packing up, use this time to sort out items you no longer use, need or want. Once you’ve created that pile, call us and we’ll come out to remove it.

Clean Up

Don’t forget the home’s exterior when staging. Clear out piles of winter’s debris such as broken limbs, twigs, and any outdoor furniture or toys that might have been damaged by winter storms. Let 123JUNK haul away your yard debris.

Clear Out

You’ll probably be surprised by the number of boxes sitting in your attic and basement—that you never open. Rather than pay for storage or moving fees for these obviously-unneeded items, get rid of them. 123JUNK has a “Donate-Recycle-Dispose” policy where we will sort your items and donate reusable items to our charity partners (you get the receipt), recycle re-usable materials such as metals, and dispose of the rest. If it’s “too good” to throw away, call us.

For removing the clutter, clearing up, and clearing out, call 123JUNK. You’ll sell your home faster and for more money by creating airy, open spaces that showcase your home to its best advantage.

Big to Small: Tips to Balm the Painful Process of Downsizing

123JUNK sees many people downsizing their homes due to short sales, foreclosures, mortgage issues, or just wanting a smaller place to live. Other clients may be moving into a retirement community due to a death in the family or the desire to have less home and yard care or a more simple lifestyle. Whatever the reason, often a new home or apartment involves less storage and living space than the previous residence. This creates tough decisions of keeping or disposing of certain items. While we do not take it upon ourselves to directly consult clients on what to get rid of, the following may help give you some ideas about how to go about clearing out your possessions so that you can have room to actually navigate, live, and enjoy your new, smaller place of residence.

Empty Nest Without the Mess: Reestablishing A Feasible Living Area After Your Child Moves Out

So, your young (or in some cases not-so-young) one is moving out to let you begin enjoying your golden years. But are they really so “golden” with all this junk left lying around cluttering up your living area? It only makes sense that parents get rid of some or most of their son or daughter’s possessions when they are going away for school or just moving out to start living on their own or with a spouse. Yet since youths usually begin their adult lives with menial income, many leave an inordinate amount of possessions at the home of the parent. 123JUNK can help clean up the “empty nest” once your offspring have left so you can soar free without fluttering around in clutter.
