Welcome to post 2 of our 15-part series dedicated to preparing your home for sale! (whether you are thinking of selling your home this year or in the next 5 years).
Always remember that less is more! If you have an abundance of unnecessary furniture and If selling the items on Facebook Marketplace isn't your preference, explore the list below for alternative options to donate your unwanted furniture and household items. Whether you live in Buffalo Grove, Lincolnshire, or Highland Park,- the list below will come in handy.
