Summary

With another wave of decluttering washing over our house, we're looking back at our last yard sale and the strange trick we used to make it a fast-selling success (and the minor detail we overlooked that nearly turned it into a major disaster). We're also talking about how we sold both of our homes without a realtor, and what five things you should consider before you go the For Sale By Owner route yourself - including the HUGE misstep we made when putting our first home on the market. You'll also hear why we've given up on one area of our yard looking pretty anymore (we've opted for pure function in that spot) and Sherry shares her new favorite footwear.
