Your Home Selling Readiness Checklist
Selling your home is a big step, and a little preparation can make a huge difference in attracting buyers and maximizing your sale price. Whether you’re selling now or planning for the future, this step-by-step checklist will help you get your home market-ready with less stress!
Home Selling Readiness Checklist
✔ Declutter & Depersonalize – Create a clean, neutral space by removing excess clutter and personal items so buyers can visualize themselves in the home.
✔ Deep Clean & Tidy Up – A sparkling home makes a great first impression! Pay extra attention to kitchens, bathrooms, and windows.
✔ Tackle Small Repairs & Updates – Fix leaky faucets, touch up paint, replace burnt-out lightbulbs, and take care of minor maintenance issues to make your home move-in ready.
✔ Boost Curb Appeal – The outside of your home is the first thing buyers see! Mow the lawn, plant flowers, power wash the driveway, and make sure your entryway is warm and inviting.
✔ Stage Your Home – Arrange furniture to maximize space, add cozy touches, and remove anything that makes rooms feel crowded. A well-staged home sells faster and for more money!
✔ Gather Important Documents – Locate your mortgage details, utility bills, warranties, and any past home improvements to provide potential buyers with helpful information.
✔ Consider a Pre-Listing Inspection – Identify any hidden issues before buyers do and avoid surprises during negotiations.
✔ Plan for Showings & Open Houses – Be prepared to keep your home clean and tidy, and consider a plan for where to go during showings.
✔ Set the Right Price – Work with an experienced real estate agent (that’s us! 😉) to determine the best listing price based on market trends and comparable sales.
✔ Book a Home Selling Strategy Session – Let’s meet at your home to go over staging, pricing, and a personalized marketing plan to get your home sold for top dollar!
