The #1 Recommendation to Increase The Value Of Your Client’s Home: A message for Brokers
Brokers:
Have you ever walked into a client’s home before it goes on the market and thought, “This client has a beautiful home but it’s hiding behind years of clutter?”
Truthfully, no broker has the time and energy to single-handedly clean out and ready every home they sell, no matter how “hands-on” or dedicated they may be. Your job, as a professional, is to guide your client, showcase the property, and get the highest ROI. You have enough on your plate. You are the expert in your field and home sellers may not realize what all goes into preparing for an open house.
Opposition-ally, your clients lead a busy life and do not have the emotional capacity to declutter. They see years of memories. They are “home blind” and have been living comfortably for decades so they may not realize the extreme degree of tidying needed to allow you to command top dollar. “ In the National Association of Realtors Executive Summary, “the most common home improvement items agents recommended to sellers were decluttering the home (95 percent).”
I launched Green Mountain Space so that I can help bring order to homes, relieving the stress that lost or misplaced items bring, and, yes, help people save money and time. I do the work for you, helping your clients eliminate clutter and potential buyers can better see the value. Helping clients declutter and pre-pack means a “no delay” closing process – they’re more easily able to box up what’s left and move out by the deadline.
As a real estate broker, you are the primary liaison for your seller or buyer.
They rely on you for guidance, to show them the best way to maximize profits on the sale of their home. Recommending me to prepare the house alleviates unnecessary stress during the whole process, and leaves you to focus on selling the property. Including my services as part of your selling package will get your listings on the market faster and in better shape than you may have thought possible. The payoff is evident – in quick home sales, happier, more relaxed clients, and more satisfied buyers.

3 Reasons to suggest hiring a Professional Organizer for your Clients:
It’s cheaper to move less stuff. Many movers charge by weight. While getting rid of your extra clothes may not shave much off your weight total, getting rid of 20 bags of books will.
Professional organizers can streamline the upfront packing and setup process on moving day, which may alleviate stress and anxiety for those making the move.
Professional organizers can help on the back end, too, with setting up a new home or apartment or settling a client into other living arrangements.
We don’t just organize declutter, and do light staging with their owned furnishings. I also coordinate a client’s move with local moving companies so there’s that off of your plate. Everybody Wins. Clients contact me for their organizing needs and sometimes ‘lo and behold’ they are preparing for a move. This is a perfect opportunity to refer to an expert. Establishing a working relationship with a broker adds value to both your business and mine.
When to recommend hiring a professional organizer to your client:
I have completed quick moves in the past, however, it is not an ideal situation for clients. I always, always, always, recommend starting this process at least 2 months before putting a house on the market.
Let’s work together to provide an excellent experience for your clients.

I assist clients by removing the excess of emotional burdens and items that do not spark joy. As a professional organizer, I would love to work with you to streamline home processes and implement systems that complement your space and style.
