Step 2: Preparing

Whether you are a seasoned seller or a first-timer, it's important to take the time to get your home ready to show to potential buyers. Remember, first impressions are everything, and the condition of your home can make all the difference in attracting potential buyers and securing a successful sale.


Remove clutter and organize

Clearing clutter from your home is an essential step in preparing it for sale. This not only helps to showcase your home's best features, but it can also make it feel larger and more inviting to potential buyers.

Clean and make repairs

Making sure your home is clean and well-maintained is key to a successful sale. Address any minor repairs, such as fixing leaks or repainting, to make your home look its best.

Stage your home for sale

Staging your home means setting it up to appeal to the most potential buyers. This includes rearranging furniture, depersonalizing the space, and making it look warm and welcoming.

Consider a home protection plan

A home protection plan can give buyers peace of mind when purchasing your home. This can include covering the cost of repairs for appliances and systems that fail during a set period of time after the sale.

Complete listing documents and disclosures

I will assist you in completing all necessary listing documents and disclosures, such as property condition forms, lead-based paint disclosures, and more.
