Clients need to pare down their possessions before listing or selling their home? Sounds like it\u2019s time for a garage sale! In addition to decluttering<\/a>, a garage sale can help your buyers get organized and earn a little extra cash to put toward their upcoming move. It may even motivate them to put their home on the market much sooner than they anticipated!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how can you help ensure that the garage sale goes off without a hitch? Gift your clients a garage sale checklist<\/a> and success kit! While a garage sale checklist may not seem as glamorous as some of the other client gifts<\/a> we\u2019ve recommend in the past, it\u2019s thoughtful, practical and serves a very important purpose: letting your customers know that you are there for them during every step of their journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to include in your garage sale kit:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Garage sale signs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Clients want to bring in lots of buyers? One way to achieve this is by advertising their garage sale<\/a> on online forums and\/or in the local paper. But they will probably also want to post signs<\/a> to grab the attention of passersby and direct foot traffic to their garage or yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before purchasing garage sale signs for your clients, make sure that they are complying with local regulations. For instance, in some cities, counties, master-planned communities and homeowner associations (HOAs), signs may be limited in size or number and there may be rules governing their content and placement. Sometimes garage sale signs require a permit and there may even be a deadline for when they must be removed. Make sure your clients know the rules in advance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Map<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can also include a map that is marked with the best places to post garage sale signs (e.g., community entrance, intersection with high visibility).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pricing stickers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your clients can use these to list the prices of items for sale. You can provide blank labels or ones that already include pricing<\/a>. Also, be sure to check out these tips<\/a> to help your customers determine fair resale pricing for their belongings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Permanent markers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you opt to include blank stickers, your customers can use these<\/a> to mark their prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sales receipts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Garage sale shoppers may request a receipt so they have a record of their transaction. Print out several copies of a free template, like this one<\/a>, and add them to the kit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cash box<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your clients will truly appreciate having a place<\/a> to store both their change and their yard sale profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
