Dear Monica: I know I want to sell my house but am paralyzed by the prospect of sorting and packing up my house of 35 years.  Any advice?  Janet D.

Dear Janet:   Sellers approach the job of selling a long time home with dread. The thought of clearing out years of accumulation is daunting. And if you are still working full time at a job, it can be impossible to find the time.

There are home organizers to help you who know how to organize the piles and advise you on what has value and what doesn’t. You would do well to use their services. Your agent can direct you on where to find them.
