Preparing for the busiest time of the year is, well, daunting. We get it. While we hope you invest in self-care and maybe book a weekend at the beach, it’s time to get serious about planning and organization. Whether you’re a to-do list aficionado or freeze in the face of stress, we’ve got five ways to de-clutter your life and business with a little spring cleaning.

We took it to social media and asked agents participating in our Spring Cleaning Challenge (#PASpringSweeps) to share how they are sprucing up before the season really takes off.

Here’s what they had to say:

1. Wash your car

When your car (and everything else) is clean, we promise you’ll experience that elusive sense of calm. Impress your clients, like Tiffanie did, with a squeaky-clean car.

2. Build emergency kits for your car

Again, it’s the little things. Stock baskets or containers with snacks, toys, water and toilet paper so you can be prepared for any situation, and so you can quickly find what you need. Need we say more about the importance of keeping your mobile office organized?

3. Request new reviews

Most serious home shoppers use reviews to validate an agents’ experience and reputation. It’s important to keep these up-to-date. New reviews will help bring in more clients and help keep your profile/website current.

4. Create a schedule for your social media posts

Staying relevant on social media takes a lot of work (and a lot of content!), however, setting aside some time to plan posts can lead to more followers and in turn, more leads! Your social feed can position you as a local expert and a master marketer.

5. Host a lead clean-up party

Focus on week four of our Spring Cleaning Challenge and mine your database for leads. Set aside an afternoon, gather other motivated agents, order a pizza or take-out and make a party out of contacting your “cold” leads. You never know when someone may be ready to make a move!
