What to Do with Your Belongings When Downsizing [in 4 Easy Steps]

 


Hello, friends. My name is Dawn D'Amico, a licensed realtor in Pennsylvania and over the bridge in New Jersey. Today we are going to talk about downsizing and what to do with your belongings when you are trying to downsize. I know that this can be a daunting task, but do not worry, I am here to help.

In this article, I am going to give you some tips on how to declutter and downsize your belongings. Even Marie Kondo would be proud. 

So what do you do with all your stuff when you are downsizing?

Here are a few options. 

Number one, keep it. If you have sentimental items or things that you use regularly, you'll probably want to keep them. 

Number two, sell it. You can sell your belongings online or at a garage sale or an estate sale. 

Number three, donate it. There are many charities that accept donations of clothing, furniture, and other items.

Or number four, you can just discard it. If you don't want to keep, sell, or donate your belongings, you can just get rid of them. 

No matter what you choose to do with your belongings, it is important to start decluttering early. This will give you time to sort through everything and make decisions about what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

Now, here are a few tips for decluttering. Set a deadline for yourself. This will help you stay motivated. Start in one room and work your way through the house. Get rid of anything you have not used in the past year. Ask yourself if you really need each item. Be ruthless. It is easier to get rid of things now than later after you have moved it.

So, there you have it. These are just a few tips on what to do with your belongings when you are trying to downsize. If you are feeling overwhelmed, do not hesitate to reach out to me for help. I can help you declutter and downsize your belongings so that you can move into your new home with ease.
