When you’re selling a home in Tampa Bay, buyers are going to come in and look behind every door – including your bedroom closet.
And if they see it stuffed to the brim with clothes, they’re going to close the door, wonder if all their stuff would fit inside, and head to the next house.
Okay, so maybe it’s not that dramatic – but you do need to declutter your closets and clear them out before buyers start visiting your home.
Here’s how.
4 Easy Steps to Declutter Your Closet to Sell Your Home
Use these steps to to declutter your closet so you can sell your home:
- Get boxes.
- Put all your clothes into a pile.
- Take all your storage boxes out of the closet.
- Put everything in its proper place.
#1. Get boxes.
You’re going to set aside a couple of hours for this task, so start by getting boxes you’ll use to pack away off-season clothes and fill with donations.
#2. Put all your clothes into a pile.
Take everything that’s hanging in your closet and put it on your bed. You’re going to need those boxes as you sort through the things you haven’t worn in a while (donate!), things that are off-season but you will wear again (pack away!) and things that you’ll never wear again (donate!).

#3. Take all your storage boxes out of the closet.
If you have shoeboxes or storage containers in your closet, pull them out. Sort through each one and see if you can consolidate – and choose whether to donate or keep them. You’re not putting them back in that closet, though – the things you’re keeping but rarely use need to go into storage while your house is on the market.
#4. Put everything in its proper place.
After you’ve thinned out the clothing you’ll put back into the closet, put it all away. Group like items by color and keep it organized as you put it in there, too – buyers love seeing organization. If you have donation boxes or storage boxes, take care of them right away.
