Today on the podcast, we talk to Jacquie Denny - Founder of Everything But The House which is based in Cincinnati. She is a female business owner I met years ago when I was still doing in-home professional organizing. She and Co-Founder Brian Graves met at a tag sale and began EBTH in 2008. Their first online sale was $10,000. They were so excited that they took their spouses out to dinner! Everything But The House began as a business to bring estate sales online in order to get better prices for their clients and reach a broader market and audience. They would go into a house, photograph everything, then invite buyers into the home to pick up their items. Within about 6 years, they changed their approach and now take all the estate items into a facility so buyers no longer visit the home of the client and potentially damage it or the surrounding property during the transaction. Every single home has these 3 things: saleable, donatable, and disposable items. When Lisa first met Jacquie, she asked: "What about the paper?" to which Jacquie asked: "What paper? - We don't do paper." That's when I knew focusing on paper was the right business model for Organize 365®! We talked about how the generations that Jacquie has worked with have transformed the market place. The Silent Generation stays in the same house their entire lives and never downsizes. The Baby Boomers are more apt to downsize or sell off their items before they end up burdening their children with them. Now Gen X and younger generations are far less interested in valuable items and would much rather spend money on vacations or life experiences. Jacquie says she's currently downsizing the largest generation in history - and they think furniture is their most valuable property. Not a lot of 20 or 30-somethings want the big, ornate dining room sets anymore! Jacquie mentioned a few things she's learned over the years that she thought would be helpful for others to hear. First: don't make the mistake of assuming that the longer you hold on to an item, the more valuable it gets. Everything has a 'shelf life' or a life cycle. So for example, if you have a signed Joe Burrow item - sell it while he's still hot! Don't hold on to it thinking in another 5-10 years it'll be worth more than it is now after he's no longer "at the top of his game". Second: things that will almost always hold value are jewelry, art, and luxury goods (such as purses and shoes). Third: what you paid for something or how much it means to you has no influence on what you'll sell it for...it's all about the market! Fourth: the biggest sin you can commit is this - hanging onto an item you aren't emotionally ready to let go of, putting it into a storage facility where it's forgotten until someone else finds it after you're gone. The diminishing return on that item while it sits there month after month is harder to swallow than letting go of the emotion attached to it, selling it while you still can and using that money for something else. Some people let go of things to pay for expensive vacations. Some people sell things to pay off medical bills. Greg and I ended up selling our gold class rings in 2008 to keep the kids in school, and selling other items that our families had bought for the kids when they were very young (remember layettes?) in order to pay medical bills and other expenses. Sometimes you have to give up things that you think are valuable in order to survive! Want to find out more about Everything But The House?

On the Wednesday podcast, I get to talk with members of the Organize 365® community as they share the challenges, progress, missteps and triumphs along their organizing journey. You can see and hear transformation in action. I look forward to helping YOU learn the skill of organization, too! In this episode, I introduce you to Jacquie Denny, a Cincinnati native and Founder of Everything But The House. I remember calling Jacquie many years ago to have breakfast to talk about Organize 365®. Jacquie had discovered her own successful business through settling her father's estate and I was looking to pick her brain. She watched as the auctioneer sold her father's items for pennies on the dollar and thought there just had to be a better way. She also knew that children or loved ones settling an estate likely have full time jobs on top of trying to settle an estate, which is like a full time job of its own. She stumbled into solving a large need for people in her surrounding area by sharing her lived experiences to make others' lives easier. Now Jacquie finds herself becoming like a family member, almost like a therapist, to families as they navigate this difficult time. Jacquie was an empty nester for 18 months till Jacquie's dad got a cancer diagnosis. Caring for your parents is so much different than caring for your children. You don't know how long they will be with you. You may not realize all the appointments they now have, prescriptions that need to be picked up, unexpected lengthy tests they may need. You may even need to cook for them, possibly feed them, and assist in daily hygiene. Unfortunately over the course of 10 years, Jacquie and her husband said goodbye to all of their parents. Jacquie really shared a lot about what it takes to care for loved ones and the toll it takes on the caregiver. And in the end, all of the arrangements that need to be made during an emotional time. Nowadays it's common to not live in the same state as your parents or siblings. Often, parents have remarried and we find ourselves as executors of multiple estates. As their decline begins, it's a good time to discuss with siblings, or whomever will be helping with caregiving, what the expectations are based on convenience, what your job will allow, and proximity to the loved one. Jacquie had been a stay at home mom when her father passed. After settling one estate after another, her family defaulted to her because she was a stay at home mom and had done it before. Settling an estate is an all consuming process! Jacquie's business filled this void. She started working her business on the weekends while her husband traveled for work. Little did she know that her business would explode when she went online, with the help of her business partner Brian in 2008. At the end of the day, one of the things that helps Jacquie with her families is organization! Things are going to change and be unpredictable, but with organization it's easier to pivot. Jacquie's hope is that all of us will use our experiences and hand down advice to our children on how to survive it better. Do as we learned, not as we did. Jacquie's advice is… The more organized you can be, the better off you'll be because things continually change. Utilize a lot of communication and patience to sustain sibling/other caregiver relationships. Don't assume your support system knows what you need in your caregiving role. If your loved one is not in a facility, contribute how you can remotely with: Sporadic visits where you assume a lot of the daily responsibilities to give siblings or whomever a break. Do some deep cleaning or make freezer meals for when you head home. Help them run errands or pick up their kids (your nieces/nephews) from sports or activities. Cold hard cash to cover the meals, gas, prescriptions, personal care items of your loved one. Be creative on how you can lighten the load and show you care.

The process of selling your items is labor intensive. I often suggest just donating your unwanted items to save time and get you to living a less cluttered life faster. However, there often is value in the items you no longer need, and being paid to declutter has a nice ring to it. In each case, a bunch of time and space is necessary to store, price, list, and deliver items. In the past few years, numerous companies have come into the marketplace that will store, price, list, and deliver your items for you. Win – Win! Now all you have to do is determine which of these companies best suits the type of clutter you have and ship it off. Replacements.com accepts china, silver, figurines, and crystal. I have bought and sold with Replacements.com and have had excellent results. Swap.com is an online resale website for maternity through adult women’s clothing. I like that Swap.com also buys and sells baby items, kid's toys, and kid's books. Decluttr.com is a great resource for selling electronic items and DVDs. Decluttr.com gives you an estimate of how much you can make on your CDs, DVDs, video games, and electronics by scanning the barcodes on those items. Rebagg.com works in a similar way to Decluttr.com. Once you send a photo of your handbag to Rebagg.com, you will receive a quote and a free shipping label to mail them your handbag. I have purchased and have been very happy with the service from Thread Up. Thread Up sells clothing for all the women in your life, from babies to grandmas. To sell your clothing, order a clean out bag and get started cleaning out your closet! Thread Up offers you $10 off your first purchase if you use my affiliate code here. EBTH {Everything But The House} is a full service online estate sale company. If you have a whole house worth of items to sell, start with an EBTH in-home consultation. Smaller lots of sale items can also be sold through EBTH’s regional distribution centers.
