Missi first joined us in Episode 13, where we shared more about her story and the work she does helping people create calmer, more functional homes.This time, we talk about how to decide which household items are actually worth selling, when donating makes more sense, and how much time and energy it can take to list, message, coordinate, and meet with buyers.Missi also shares which items tend to hold value, which belongings people often overestimate, and donation options that can help furniture, household goods, pianos, and other difficult items find a useful next home.Whether you are decluttering, downsizing, preparing to sell a home, or simply trying to regain control of your space, this episode offers practical advice for making decisions without becoming overwhelmed.For homeowners and families in Mound, around Lake Minnetonka, and throughout the Twin Cities, these strategies can make organizing, moving, and preparing a home for sale feel far more manageable.Learn more about Clear Spaces Organizing at www.creatingclearspaces.com, email Missi at missi@creatingclearspaces.com, or call 763-308-6830.Want to feel more confident buying, selling, and owning a home?
