What Do You Do With All of the STUFF?
Although this is meant to be funny, did anyone get a little anxious looking at the above comic? I did!
After the recent deaths of my parents and the need to clear out their precious lifelong possessions to put their home on the market, this felt very personal. As difficult as it was, the one thing I kept telling myself was, "I promise I will not leave all of my STUFF for my kids to sort through!" However, after looking at my basement full of STUFF (to which I have added some of my parent's STUFF), I have come to the conclusion that it's easier said than done.
Lately, I have had the opportunity to work with several families who were also selling a house and moving---either because a loved one had passed away or a loved one was moving into a nursing home/assisted living facility. It can be overwhelming and stressful for the family and the homeowner who may have lived in the same home for nearly 50 years, like my parents. That's a lifetime of stuff!
Luckily, I have resources that can help! I have contacts (many I have personally used) for moving companies, companies that do total clean outs, auctioneers, house cleaners, stagers, painters, etc. If you need to sell a home yourself or for your loved one, feel completely overwhelmed and don't know where to start, GIVE ME A CALL. I can help you.
And if you're like me, and have a basement full of STUFF to get rid of, call me about that too. Because, you know I've got a guy for that!
