Ep. 24: Melanie Seaver, Trisha Counterman and Sara Fort: Adventures in Organization

"Storage is never really an option I recommend to my clients unless they're in a transition period." — Sara Fort If you're like our show hosts, you barely noticed when the first Stanley bottle appeared on your counter — until three Owallas and a Larq joined it. Suddenly, 27 bottles of every shape and size have formed a veritable colony in your cabinets. If that sounds familiar, you may be living through a water bottle takeover — especially if you've got school-age kids collecting every new designer brand. On this new episode of the Real Estate Mailbag, we talk with Melanie Seaver (Nashville Home Organizers), Trisha Counterman (ECO Consulting & Organizing), and Sara Fort (Do You Organization) about how clutter affects your peace of mind and your property value. Our guests share how home organization impacts listings, why minimalism is trending, and how small changes in kitchens and closets can have an outsized effect on buyers. Plus, how organizers and Realtors can team up to stage homes faster, reduce stress, and close deals more efficiently. If your latest listing isn't getting traction, tune in for expert insight on how a little decluttering can boost both curb appeal and calm.
