In this short real‑estate advice video, Nick Perry explains that sellers often forfeit up to $40,000 simply because they fail to declutter their home before listing it on the MLS and before taking marketing photos. By removing personal belongings, the property becomes a "blank canvas" that lets prospective buyers or renters easily imagine their own furniture and lifestyle in the space. This visual freedom speeds up the sales process, reduces days on market, and encourages stronger offers. Conversely, cluttered homes stay listed longer and tend to generate weaker bids, costing sellers significant profit.
