What's the easiest way to clean out a house before selling it?

The easiest way to clean out a house before selling is to sort room by room into keep, donate, and haul piles, then schedule a single junk removal appointment to clear everything you are not keeping in one trip, often as soon as the same week or the next day. 

Clean, empty houses simply photograph better. If you’re selling a home, or you plan to sell one soon, you likely know that this is true. And real estate agents will tell you the same thing: clearing out a home is one of the highest-payoff things you can do before listing.

The easiest way to clean out a home is to take it room by room. That’s a lot more manageable than taking on the whole house at once. In each room, you can then sort everything into three piles: keep, donate, and haul. The keep pile stays with you. The donate pile can include usable furniture and other goods. The haul pile is all else that’s left over—and this is usually the part that stalls people out because it requires a lot of back and forth to the landfill when you’re already busy.

A single junk removal appointment can take the entire process off your to-do list. The Junkluggers of Treasure Valley clears your entire haul and donate piles in one trip, often as soon as the same week or the next day, which fits neatly before a photographer, a stager, or an open house. They give you a written on-site estimate up front and sort what they collect so usable items are donated and rehomed rather than dumped. 

Once the clutter is gone, the house will be ready to make its best impression. Then you can focus on staging, listing, selling, and moving on to your new place.
