Property Preparation
“The way you live in your home and the way you market and sell your house are two different things.”
Barb Schwarz
Your Realtor™ knows what it takes to sell a home in today’s market. We know that one of the best ways to maximize your equity can also be one of the most labour-intensive. And when you’re selling, time is never on your side.
Whether you’re moving across the country or across town, you’re upsizing or downsizing, you’re a time-crunched family or a senior who hasn’t moved in 50 years, Organizing Lives is your solution for pre-listing home preparation.
Getting Ready to Sell Your Home
As Professional Organizers, we know the competitive advantage of a decluttered home in today’s market. In fact, beautiful home furnishings, artwork and bedding lose their sparkle without doing the prep work first. Our services include:
- Editing your home to depersonalize and create flow, as directed by your Realtor™ and/or Stager
- Removing any unwanted items to charity
- Professional inventoried packing of the things you want to keep, but must be removed from your home for listing
- Arranging off-site storage on your behalf

“What an amazing team of women – you are all true gems! Your efficiency and hard work this past week, always with a smile, was beyond anything I could have imagined going in to this. What you were able to accomplish in two days would have taken us weeks, if not months. It’s almost unbelievable that our house is ready to go to market, when two days prior all I could see was ‘stuff’, everywhere. Your team’s sensitive and respectful approach left us feeling positive and relieved – what an absolute blessing to have found Organizing Lives.”
