Decluttering before a move is hard enough. But what do you do with the couch nobody picks up, the piano you can’t move, or the expensive exercise equipment you no longer use?

I sit down with Ari Kimmelfeld, founder of Commonplace, to talk about downsizing and selling large, valuable items without the stress of managing every detail yourself. I share my own moving challenges, from Facebook Marketplace no-shows to donation services that couldn’t take heavy furniture. Ari explains how Commonplace approaches buying and selling secondhand furniture, appliances, fitness equipment, and other bulky goods by managing inspections, pickup, delivery, setup, and payments.

We also explore selling items from storage, why a small price tag can sometimes attract more interest than “free,” and how a monthly decluttering habit can help you avoid a last-minute moving scramble.

Whether you’re preparing to move, downsizing your home, or ready to reclaim your space, this conversation offers practical ideas for letting go of the possessions that feel hardest to shift.
