Make Your Home More Sellable


There are so many houses on the market today, how do you make your home more sellable? If you are working on a tight budget and don’t have money for major renovations, there are still some things you can do to make your home more appealing to buyers.

Remove the clutter – This is the single most important thing you can do to make your home sellable. Get rid of the excess stuff from your closets and your rooms. Rent a portable storage unit from SMARTBOX. Pack up old memorabilia, move out furniture from cluttered rooms. Using temporary storage is the perfect solution. We will store your excess belongings at our secure, climate controlled facility until you sell your home and then we will deliver it to your new home when you are ready. How easy is that?

Organize everything – Organize your closets, pantry and garage. Install closet organization systems if you have the money. Home buyers love to envision living in an organized home.

Wash the windows, both interior and exterior – Washing your windows will increase light into your home and make your rooms seem brighter and bigger. If you are not repainting the interior, then wash all the walls and trim.

Spruce up the yard – Buyers will see the gardens and yard first; making your front entrance attractive should be a priority. Mulch the flower beds and trim the shrubbery. Add potted plants or flowers to the front entrance. Keep the grass cut.

Sell your home the SMART way – use SMARTBOX for your temporary storage needs.

SMART Questions

Filed under: Long Distance Moving, Mobile Storage, Temporary Storage — SMARTBOX @ 2:26 pm

Our customers ask some SMART questions when it comes to SMARTBOX and how our portable moving and storage company operates. Here are just a few of the most often asked questions and, of course, our answers:

How many SMARTBOX containers will I need to move?

SMARTBOX portable storage containers are built to hold up to 1 1⁄2 rooms of furniture and other personal belongings. Use the “Moving Calculator” to determine how many boxes you will need to order or call us at 1-87-SMARTBOX and we will be happy to personally assist you.

Will a SMARTBOX container hold my large household items?

Absolutely! Our portable storage containers are 8′ deep by 7′ tall by 5′ wide. That makes them large enough for almost any household item you have including most sofas, entertainment centers, refrigerators, washers, dryers, dressers, and beds. Each SMARTBOX unit holds up to 2,000 lbs. and is designed for easy loading.

How much will it cost to move with SMARTBOX?

It’s easy to determine your cost: click here and type your zip code in the Get A Moving and Storage Quote box. That’s it, your price per SMARTBOX mobile storage container and delivery fee for local use will appear. The cost is typically lower than the price of renting a truck and a self-storage unit, plus there are no hidden costs with SMARTBOX.

Planning Your Home Improvement Projects the SMART Way

Filed under: Mobile Storage, Portable Storage Information, Temporary Storage — SMARTBOX @ 3:04 pm

The new year is here and along with a new year comes resolutions and renovations. We all create the master list of what we want to change about ourselves and a list of items we want to accomplish in the new year. If you have a list of home improvements that you want to accomplish in 2011 be sure to include SMARTBOX in your plans.

Temporary storage by SMARTBOX is a great solution for home improvement projects. If you need to have your floors refinished or your carpeting replaced, store excess furniture and items in a SMARTBOX portable storage container while your work is being done. If you are finally getting your dream kitchen, store kitchen equipment and furniture in a SMARTBOX container while construction is going on.

We will drop off a portable storage container at your home at your convenience and you can use it for storage as long as you need. Keep the container on site and have easy access to all of your items whenever you need them. Or, if you prefer, we will store them at our secure, temperature controlled facility until all construction is complete and then we will bring it back to your home.
