The foremost thing that one must do is declutter. It is among your principal objectives after all. One must remove everything which they do not use anymore. They must do it systematically. One could do this room by room. They must classify their things as well.

A lot of individuals hoard stuffs mostly because they think they will still utilize such in the future. It must not be one's line of thinking. In clothes, think how frequent you have worn that item within the year. In appliances, remember when the last time you have actually used the appliance. Everything not used for a year must be just sold.

Proper inventory would have to be done as well. Being systematic is again crucial for this. Things can then be categorized more easily for better placement later. The exact items to be sold would then be known. Accounting for everything would also be easier later. A checklist should also be done.

It will be different for used appliances, clothes, and books, among others. It will make sure that one will not be charging too much nor too less.

Gather your supplies then. Kits are great as they would usually have everything that you would need already. You should also assign tasks to your family members. It would be good if there would be people to help you during such an event.

Choose a good date. It would be great if you would do it on Sundays. There would be more people who can come. You should also designate proper times for this.
