🏡 Declutter to Dollars: Turns “Stuff” Into Cash…
Declutter to Dollars is a new service designed to help homeowners sell household items with less effort and less moving. Whether you are downsizing, right-sizing, or simply ready to clear space, this structured approach allows items to be sold in place, through a virtual storefront, or via a Pop-Up setting for smaller items—creating a more convenient and efficient way to transition.
If you’ve ever thought…
👉 “What am I going to do with everything in this house?”
👉 “I know there’s value here, but it feels overwhelming…”
You’re not alone.
One of the biggest challenges homeowners face—whether preparing for a move, downsizing, or simply reclaiming space—is not the home itself…
…it’s everything inside it.
That’s exactly why we created Declutter to Dollars.
This is a simple, structured way to:
✔ Turn unused household items into cash
✔ Clear space without the chaos of traditional sales
✔ Avoid last-minute stress before a move
As an added service through our brokerage, Declutter to Dollars fills a gap in the current market by offering a flexible, organized alternative to traditional consignment and resale. With options for in-home sales, virtual listings, and Pop-Up opportunities, this service is tailored to the type and volume of items—providing a customized approach that works for each client’s situation.
No crowds. No guessing. No overwhelm.

(This page is currently in testing and not yet linked on the main site—so you’re getting an early look.) AND YES, I welcome your FEEDBACK!!
💡 Why This Matters
Most people don’t realize how much value is sitting right in their home.
Furniture, décor, clothing, and everyday items can quickly add up—but without a plan, it often gets pushed aside or donated without a second thought.
Declutter to Dollars gives you a way to:
👉 Simplify your space
👉 Create extra cash
👉 Move forward with clarity
“Sell in place. Simplify your space. Move forward.”
🎯 SPECIAL OFFER
🎉 No Consignment Fees – Limited Time
To introduce this new service, I’m offering:
👉 NO consignment fees for the month
If you’ve been thinking about clearing things out, this is the perfect opportunity to try it—without added cost.
(In the future, this service will include a base setup fee and consignment structure—but for now, I’m opening this up to clients who want to take advantage early.)
📣 If You’re:
- Thinking about selling
- Downsizing
- Cleaning out a home or helping a family member
- Or just ready to reclaim your space
👉 Let’s talk.
I’ll help you create a simple plan to turn what you no longer need into something valuable.

Leading with Heart: How Tammy Murphy is Championing Housing Solutions for Dayton and Surrounding Communities
When it comes to housing advocacy, few leaders bring the blend of personal passion and professional purpose that Tammy Murphy does. As a lifelong Daytonian and a dedicated real estate broker, Tammy has always believed in the power of home—not just as a transaction, but as a foundation for thriving communities.
That’s why she’s leading the charge with the upcoming Ohio Housing Workshop on July 15th, bringing together planners, builders, zoning officials, lenders, and advocates for one shared goal: revitalizing our neighborhoods with practical, community-first housing solutions.
But what makes this workshop different? Tammy ensured that Dayton and our surrounding communities had a front-row seat. While this initiative has statewide potential, her first priority is clear—local leaders and residents deserve the first opportunity to be part of the change.
What’s This Workshop All About?
At its core, the Ohio Housing Workshop is designed to educate, empower, and engage. It’s a working session—not just a talking session—where key stakeholders explore tools and strategies to bring new housing into neighborhoods using existing resources.
Without getting too technical, here’s a peek at what attendees will learn:
️ In-fill housing: How empty lots in existing neighborhoods can become beautiful, affordable homes—without the cost of new infrastructure.
️ Zoning and planning: Why local policies matter and how we can work with municipalities to make room for smart growth.
️ Builder and investor partnerships: Creative ways to attract developers and fund construction while keeping housing affordable.
Land banks and financing options: How underused land and public-private partnerships can jumpstart local housing projects.
Grassroots activation: Perhaps most importantly, how communities themselves can get involved to make sure housing plans reflect local needs and values.
Why It Matters
For Tammy, this isn’t just a project—it’s personal. “Our neighborhoods deserve more than band-aid solutions,” she says. “We need a thoughtful approach that blends housing innovation with respect for our local identity.”
She’s not just organizing a workshop—she’s building a movement. One that’s grounded in collaboration, driven by data, and fueled by the belief that every community, no matter its zip code, should have a say in its future.
How You Can Get Involved
This workshop is just the beginning. Over the coming months, Tammy and her team will continue to work with local leaders, nonprofit partners, and residents to bring these plans to life. If you’re passionate about housing, community development, or simply want to stay informed, here’s what you can do:
✅ Share this post with your neighbors, council members, and community groups
✅ Join the conversation—reach out to Tammy directly if you want your neighborhood included
✅ Follow the progress as updates are shared on future housing efforts across the region
Because when it comes to shaping the future of our communities— we all have a role to play.

Protecting Property Rights: The Fight for Huston Cemetery and Community Integrity
As real estate professionals, we often find ourselves at the intersection of development and community values. One such case is currently unfolding in Sugarcreek Township, where a historic burial site—Huston Cemetery—faces the threat of being relocated to make way for a new housing development. This issue isn’t just about the development of much-needed new homes; it’s about respecting the history, honoring those who came before us, and upholding the integrity of the community we all work hard to build.
Huston Cemetery, a burial site dating back over 150 years and containing the remains of at least eight individuals, including military veterans, is under scrutiny as part of a proposed 80-home development. Originally, the Sugarcreek Township Trustees promised that the cemetery would be preserved, but after claims from the developer that the site interferes with a right of way, the Trustees voted to relocate the graves to another cemetery. This move has sparked a wave of outrage from residents who feel their voices were not heard, despite overwhelming opposition at public hearings. Especially since the developers own website STILL reflects the cemetery in place.
As Realtors, we believe in the importance of property rights—whether the property in question is a home, a business, or even the final resting place of those who contributed to the community. When decisions are made without fully considering the wishes of the people, it erodes the trust and respect between residents and their local government. The case of Huston Cemetery is a reminder that respecting property rights goes beyond the tangible—it’s about maintaining the spirit of a community that honors its past while working toward the future.
This isn’t just a matter of rezoning for new housing. It’s a question of how we balance progress with respect for those who live, work, and contribute to the fabric of our community—whether in life or death. The Township Trustees’ decision to move forward without adequate public discussion, communication with ALL Family Members of those buried, and without considering the concerns of the community could have long-lasting consequences on the spirit of unity that makes our neighborhoods thrive.
As part of the real estate community, we advocate for the rights of every property owner, and that includes advocating for the preservation of historic sites and the dignity of those interred. When the public’s wishes are ignored in favor of development without purpose, we risk losing the very foundation of what makes our communities special.
The move to relocate Huston Cemetery is a serious issue that raises questions about the values we uphold as a community. We urge everyone to speak up, contact the Township Trustees, and express their concerns about the preservation of this historic site. Together, we can work to ensure that development occurs in a way that respects the history and the people who have supported this community for generations.
What You Can Do to Make a Difference:
Contact Sugarcreek Township Trustees: Voice your concerns about the removal of the cemetery and urge the Trustees to reconsider their decision. https://www.sugarcreektownship.com/143/Board-of-Trustees
Reach Out to State Representatives: Advocate for state-level involvement to help preserve the cemetery. https://turner.house.gov/
Engage with the Developer: Encourage the developer to explore alternatives that do not involve the relocation of the cemetery. https://clearcreekoh.com/ (Yes, I know that looks like a municipal website address, but it is the developers!)
Support Public Petition Efforts: Join the efforts to petition for a public vote on the matter to ensure the community’s voice is heard. Sign the Petition https://chng.it/LKF2W4vVFP
At the end of the day, we all share a stake in creating communities that are built on respect, trust, and a sense of shared purpose. Let’s work together to ensure that the story of Houston Cemetery is one of preservation, not relocation. Stand with us to protect property rights and community integrity. Our next Podcast episode will speak on this matter further – be sure to TUNE IN and SHARE THIS POST AND VIDEO TO RALLY SUPPORT. @realhomestolove3939
