Seller's Guide: Preparing Your Home for Sale
- 1
Take care of deferred maintenance
Fix leaks, cracked tiles, sticking doors and worn roofing. Small repairs keep buyers from wondering what else was skipped.
- 2
Make smart updates
Fresh paint, new fixtures and light kitchen or bath updates often return more than they cost. We'll tell you what's worth doing and what isn't.
- 3
Declutter
Clear counters, closets and shelves, and remove personal photos so buyers can picture themselves living there.
- 4
Deep clean
Windows, carpets, grout and appliances. A spotless home photographs better and shows pride of ownership.
- 5
Boost curb appeal
Trim the landscaping, add fresh mulch and flowers, paint or clean the front door, and update the house numbers and lighting.
- 6
Stage and photograph
Professional staging and photos make a strong first impression online, where most buyers start.
We'll create a prep plan that fits your home, timeline and budget.
