https://youtu.be/Ps1CPrbeHxg

Selling your home? Here’s the truth almost nobody tells you: your home might feel cozy to you… but to buyers, it may look smaller, busier, and more overwhelming than you realize. After helping 2,500+ sellers across Ohio, Glen can tell you with absolute confidence: Decluttering and depersonalizing is one of the highest return on investment steps you can take before listing.

This episode breaks down:

• Why buyers struggle to “see themselves” in a lived-in home
• The 50% Rule for every room, closet, and surface
• How clutter quietly kills your showing-to-offer conversion
• Simple steps that make your home feel bigger, newer, and more valuable
• Why a weekend of decluttering can earn you thousands more at closing

This episode is your blueprint for creating space, simplicity, and maximum buyer appeal.
