If you’re looking around your home and stressing about the clutter or all the things filling the shelves and closets… maybe you have furniture you’d like to get rid of, or an attic full of stuff that you haven’t laid eyes on in years, then this video might help guide you in the right direction.
We talk about this topic of how to get rid of your stuff, including how to make those difficult decisions, and where everything can and should go, in a more in-depth discussion at our Downsizing Workshop. If you’d like to learn more on this topic, or how to downsize your home, sign up for our next workshop at: https://www.collinsgrouprealty.com/seminar/

Book Recommendation
“The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” by Marie Kondo
By now you’ve probably heard of the Netflix reality show, Tidying Up with Marie Kondo. Whether you’ve seen it or not, We would like to recommend reading (or listening to) her book (because the book is always better than the movie, right?!) This book is great because it offers a step-by-step guide on how to sort through your household and let go of things that no longer bring you joy.
