If you’re about to sell your home soon, try to start decluttering your closets and then move from there. Buyers like to see how large closets and other storage spaces are, so it’s important that their size is not obscured by your belongings. Putting things back in your garage is okay because most buyers can tell right away if it will fit 1-2 cars. However, putting your things in storage is the ideal option.
