Join host Susan and producer Kurt on Coffee With Real Estate for a timely post-Christmas episode packed with practical advice to kickstart your new year right. As we head into 2026, many listeners are planning big life changes—buying, selling, or relocating—and this episode focuses on getting organized after the holiday rush. Discover how to tackle that overwhelming pile of Christmas decorations: sort into keep, toss, and donate/sell piles, label boxes clearly, store smartly (think vertical and climate-controlled), and avoid the common mistake of shoving everything away to deal with later.
Susan shares proven strategies to extend the declutter momentum throughout your home—closets (goodbye to clothes and shoes you haven’t worn in years), kitchen items, bathrooms, and even outdoor lights. If you’re considering a move in the coming year, starting now reduces stress when it’s time to list your home or pack up. The goal? Downsize, minimize, and only bring what you truly love into your next chapter.
Plus, the duo’s signature fun topic: a hilarious story about a small Oregon town’s bold (and bare) fundraiser—a tasteful nude calendar featuring middle-aged and elderly residents that’s actually raising money for community needs. It’s quirky, unexpected, and a perfect lighthearted break.
Whether you’re dreaming of a fresh start or just craving order after the holidays, this episode will motivate you to declutter with purpose and laugh along the way. Perfect for anyone ready to embrace change in 2026!
