Many of us grow up dreaming about the big, beautiful home we are going to have with our spouse and future children. We drive through neighborhoods in our hometowns thinking about what our ideal home would look like and fantasize about each family member having their own bathroom!

However, there comes a point in time where we reconsider what we truly want. Is a big home really what we still want later in life? It is normal to think maybe it is time to downsize once all the kids are grown, but it is also hard to let go of the house we have a sentimental attachment to and where sweet memories were created.

Though it can be emotionally confusing, downsizing may be a great decision for you. Sage Organizing Co. is here to give you a few ways to know if downsizing is right for you.

1. You're struggling to keep up with the maintenance and necessary repairs

485, 5 star, AARP, Administrator, Administrator, After, Aging, Alzheimer's, Angies List, Arboretum, Assist, Aunt, Award, BBB, Bedroom, Belmont, Best, Better Business Bureau, Bonded, Box up, Boxes, Brother, Burden, Buying, Calm, Caring, Carolina Organizers, CD, Certified, Charge, Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte, Cheap, Cheap, Chore, Christian, Chronic Disorganization, Chronic, Class, Clean out, Clean, Cleaning, Clearing, Closet, Coach, Company, Compulsive, Concord, Confidential, Confidential, Containers, Cost, Cousin, Dad, Dad, Daughter, Dead, Death, Death, Deceased, Deceased, Dementia, Died, Disaster, Discount, Discreet, Disorder, Disorganized, Dispose, DIY, Do it Yourself, Drop Zone, Edit, Elderly, Elderly, Estate, Estimate, Evaluation, Executor, Executor, Executrix, Expert, Fair, Faithful Organizers, Family Meeting, Family, Family, Father, Favorite, Five star, Fort Mill, Free Resources, Friendly, Full Service, Garage, Gaston, Gastonia, Greater, HD, Help, Help, Help, Hoarder, Hoarder, Hoarding, Hoarding, Hoarding, Hoarding, Home, Honest, Honest, Horrible, Hourly, House, How start, How to do, How to, How, Huntersville, Indian Trial, Inexpensive, Inexpensive, Insured, Interior, Items, Jewish, Job site, Job, Job, Joy, Judgement free, Kitchen, Kondo, Kosher, Lancaster, Late, Laundry room, Legal, Linen Closet, Liquidation, Living Room, Loved One, Low cost, Luxury, Luxury, Marie Kondo, Marie, Master Bedroom, Matthews, Mecklenburg, Messy, Metro, Mom, Mom, Money, Mother, Move, Moving, Much, Mudroom, NAPO, NASMM, Need Help, Neutral Party, Neutral, Nightmare, No judgement, North Carolina, North Carolina, OCD, Old, Organization, Organize, Organizer, Organizer, Out, Over 60, Overload, Overwhelming, Pack-rat, Pack, Package, Packages, Packing, Pantry, Parents, Passed away, Passed on, Personal, Personal, Piedmont, Pineville, Plan, Possessions, Power of Attorney, Power of Attorney, Prepare, Price, Privacy, Private, Private, Pro, Professional, Project, Public, Realtor, Reasonable, Reasonable, Relative, Reliable, Relo, Relocation, Resource, Retire, Retirement, Rock Hill, Sale, Sell, Senior Citizen, Senior, Senior, Service, Service, Shopping, Shows up, Sister, Son, South Carolina, South Charlotte, Spark, Speaker, Speaking, Specialist, Staging, Stallings, Strategy, Stuff, System, Task, Teach, Team, Train, Training, Trust, Trustworthy, Trustworthy, Uncle, Understanding, Union, University, Unorganized, Unpack, Unpacking, Uptown, Video, Waxhaw, Weddington, What to do, Where to start, Widow, Widower, Winner, Winning, York,
Whether it be financially, physically, or emotionally, if keeping up with home maintenance and repairs is difficult, it may be time for you to consider downsizing. It can be terribly frustrating when it feels like there is ALWAYS something to be fixed in your house. Right when you're done fixing and paying for one repair, another thing breaks! Not only is this frustrating but constant repairs and maintenance is time-consuming and expensive. The smaller the house you live in, the fewer things there are to break and keep up with.

2. You're planning on retiring soon and live far from family

Many people decide to downsize once they retire as this leaves more flexibility in retirement income. Additionally, it gives you more time to focus on your health and happiness.  Many people who plan on retiring soon decide on a smaller home without steps that will be hassle-free. Downsizing is also a perfect opportunity for retirees to move close to children and grandchildren who can help in the future.

3. You feel overwhelmed with all of your "stuff"

We often feel a need to fill all the empty space once we move into a big house. As time passes, "stuff" accumulates. Sometimes you look around the house and don't even realize all the things you own! Other times we prefer to live in denial and never open the forbidden cabinets that have an unknown number of items in them. Once you've truly accepted that less really is more, it may be time for you to downsize. A smaller home will force you to reduce the stuff you have and really focus on what you truly need.

4. You feel "house poor" and sacrifice dreams because of it

If housing costs are preventing you from traveling and enjoying life's luxuries, downsizing is probably a good option for you. Moving into a smaller home or even an apartment/condo/townhome requires little maintenance which makes it possible for you to travel for longer periods and have the money to do so! Even if traveling isn't your thing, downsizing frees up money that can be spent on the things you are really wanting to try.
Even if you now see that downsizing is right for you, you may be worried about the stress and complication of the process.
⠀
Not only do you have to move your things, you also have to decide what you want to keep and what you want to discard. THEN, you have to figure out the best way to discard your unwanted things.⠀
⠀
Skip the stress and call Sage! Sage Organizing Co. will help you organize your valuables, pack them, and donate your unwanted items to local charities. ♻️⠀Comment below with any questions!

Ready to learn a professional organizer's tips for Sorting? Read on...

Set yourself up for success

Before starting any organizing or decluttering job, make sure you have all the supplies you need before you get started. ​
Tools/ Supplies Needed:
  • Post-it notes (consider the heavy ones) and/or painters tape
  • Color coded dots (for larger jobs)
  • Sturdy boxes/Packing materials/Packing tape
  • Sharpies
  • Trash Bags (preferably heavy duty)
  • Sturdy Step Stool
  • Work gloves
Logistics to Consider:
  • Work when not hungry or tired
  • Set small attainable goals
  • Make work area safe (trip hazards, pets, temperature, pests)
  • Clean as you go or do regular spot clean-ups

Keep

The first step is to sort your "keepers" into a pile or one area. Keep items that you love and actively use.  Items that aren't actively used should be moved into a long term storage area, such as a basement or attic. 
Tools/ Supplies Needed:
  • archival photo boxes and vital document storage
  • long term storage solutions (like large Rubbermaid bins)
  • short term storage solutions to sort into
Logistics to Consider:
*available space in actively used items
*temperature variation in for long term solutions
*transporting “keepers” to new location, if applicable

Sell

Don't love it, but you'd like to make a little money from it?  Consider selling online or offline.
Tools/Supplies Needed:
  • Internet connection
Logistics to Consider:
  • Selling online?  Think about packaging and shipping costs for the item.
  • Consigning locally?  Research how to transport items to the shop, the details of the contract, and how unsold items are disposed of.
  • Safety first!  Use caution when meeting strangers and exchanging money.

Tools Needed:
  • heavy duty trash bags
  • floor protections for larger jobs (spills and scrapes)
  • broom/dustpan and vacuum
  • recycling bins
Logistics to Consider:
  • Household hazardous waste disposal
  • City trash + recycling pick-up and standards
  • Rental of a dumpster
  • Bulky item collection

​
Today we are sharing our top 5 tips for selling your stuff online, and as a bonus, we’ve created a free download of How to Sell Your Items Online Cheat Sheet.

Just for our readers, we’ve created this nifty How to Sell Your Items Online Cheat Sheet.  Download and enjoy!

​

​Step One: Google “How to Sell xxx Online”

The first and easiest way to figure out how to sell your stuff online is to simply Google it.

You want to list your item on the site that has the biggest audience of potential buyers. For instance, if you were selling a set of golf clubs online, Ebay may be the best bet.  But if you were selling custom hand-embroidered tea towels, Etsy is where you want to be. Selling antiques and collectibles often is easier on sites dedicated to those items.

The Big Guys: Ebay and Amazon
​

It will come as no surprise that selling your stuff online on Ebay and Amazon are popular methods.

Both platforms have incredibly large audiences, thereby increasing your chances of selling your item quickly.  There are fees associated with using both services, so be sure you are aware of what you are agreeing to before listing your items.

Lesser Known: Ebid, Bonanza, Etsy, Collectors.com
​

As mentioned above, Etsy is a great site for selling handmade and craft items online. If you have beads, buttons, fabrics, and vintage items to sell, be sure to give Etsy a look.

Ebid is a site that is similar to Ebay, but doesn’t have the same amount of traffic. If you’re selling on Ebid, you’ll want to market your items elsewhere, too.  On the plus side, however, EBid has lower fees than the big guys.

Bonanza is a great option for selling more unique and quirky items.  Bonanza has a large audience, has no listing fee, and a low commission percentage compared to Ebay.

Collectors.com is a great option to sell your collectibles online.

Local Options: Craigslist or Facebook Groups

The best thing about selling your stuff online locally is that you pay zero fees for listing and selling.

If you live in an area that has an active Craigslist community, try listing your item there.  Photos are key to selling your items. Use common sense and caution when meeting with buyers: only accept cash and meet in public places.

If you live in a community without a lot of Craiglist action, selling your stuff in Facebook Groups is a great option.  Find local Facebook groups to list your items and be sure to follow all the rules. You’ll keep all the profits of selling via Facebook

Apps to Consider: Letgo, Offerup, Etc.
​

There are several apps that let you create accounts and list your items for other members to see.

Apps like LetGo, OfferUp, and 5Miles, etc. are certainly options, however, many users complain about spammers, failure to show up to buy, etc.  Be sure to read reviews from users before signing up for an app.
