July 10, 2018
If your selling you home, it is important to understand the impact of hoarded junk. For many, the workload involved in cleaning the property may be overwhelming. It may seem easier to take a lower purchase price than invest in cleaning. For others, it may be more advantageous to spend the energy prepping the property for a strong sale. While the choice is a personal one, there are some things to keep in mind when selling a hoarded home.
Professional junk removal services may be the tool you need to clean out the property. Professionals will begin the important process of decluttering and carrying away waste. Potential buyers try to picture themselves and their belongings in the home, but this is difficult if all they see is junk and clutter. Freeing up space will open the home, making it larger and more inviting.
After the clutter has been removed, the entire house needs to be deep-cleaned. Surface areas recently uncovered need to have dust, grime, mold or animal waste removed through cleaners and disinfectants. Prospective buyers want to tour a home that smells clean, looks clean and feels clean. They will not be interested in placing their furniture or belongings in a home that is dirty and unsanitary.
After the home has undergone professional junk removal, it is beneficial to have an exterminator assess the property for pest problems. Hoarding is often an invitation for rodents and pests to make their home unnoticed amongst the garbage. You may also want to have a home inspection, as accumulated waste may have created damage to interior or exterior surfaces. There is potential for mold or water damage, as well as failed heat or ventilation elements.
