In this program, Mike will show you how you can sell your excess personal property for the greatest amount of cash...with the least amount of work...in the shortest amount of time...in today's rapidly changing market."

Week 2 - De-Clutter & De-Personalize (4/29)

"If you're contemplating a move or downsizing your home, usually the first thing a realtor will suggest is that you 'De-Clutter' and 'De-Personalize' your home. In this light and fun program, Mike will provide tips to help you lighten your load."

Week 3 - What's Hot & Not Today (5/6)

"In this session, Mike will explain why many of the things you own may be worth less than you thought. But don't despair because he'll also reveal those categories that are probably worth much more than you expected. And then he'll wrap things up with 50 things you can toss today."

Week 4 - Your Children Don't Want It (5/13)

"We hear it every day. And it's happening across America. But just because your children don't want it, doesn't mean it's valueless. In this session, Mike will share his 'buffet' of ways to determine what's worth it and how to sell it."
