When it comes to selling homes, even during this busy time of year, closets bring the bids. It’s not just about being tidy and keeping things out of the way – it goes all the way down to the core of our psyche as human beings. Think of closets as a time capsule, a window into the life of a person; outfits, hobbies, everything that makes a person a person ends up in a closet.
