Real estate broker Alex Platt emphasizes the importance of decluttering homes before selling them, as it can greatly enhance a property's appeal and value. During a listing appointment in Delray Beach, he advised a seller to tidy up their cluttered home to improve its impression for both in-person showings and online photos. Platt estimated that presenting the home in a more polished condition could increase its sale price by about $100,000, highlighting the financial benefits of decluttering for sellers.
I gently but firmly explained the importance of declutteringânot only for in-person showings but especially for the professional photos, as clutter can make even a spacious home feel small and uninviting.
I estimated that difference could be around $100,000âor roughly 10% of the home's value. Presenting the home in its best condition can significantly impact the sale price.
