Deciding to sell your home is a big step—but knowing how to prepare it for the market can feel overwhelming. What’s worth upgrading? Should you stage? How much do you need to clean, declutter, or repair?
The good news: you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I work closely with sellers to create a tailored prep plan that highlights their home’s strengths, addresses potential buyer concerns, and helps them get top dollar without overspending on unnecessary improvements.
Here’s where we start:
Key Points Covered:
1. Start with a Walk-Through (and a Game Plan)
Before making any changes, I walk through your home with a strategic eye—identifying where small improvements can make a big impact and what can be left alone.
Every property is different, and there’s no one-size-fits-all prep checklist. My advice is specific, honest, and aligned with your goals.
2. Decluttering Makes a Bigger Impact Than You Think
Buyers need to be able to see themselves in the space.
I help you simplify and streamline your home—often with the help of a professional organizer—so it feels spacious, clean, and easy to imagine living in.
3. A Few Quick Fixes Go a Long Way
Touch-up paint, updated light fixtures, fresh landscaping, or new cabinet hardware can completely shift how a home feels—without a full renovation.
I’ll point out the small updates that increase appeal without draining your budget.
4. Staging (or Partial Staging) Can Make the Difference
Homes that are staged tend to photograph better, show better, and sell faster.
Depending on your home and timeline, I’ll recommend full staging, partial styling, or even just rearranging your existing furniture for the best visual flow.
5. Professional Photos Are Non-Negotiable
Today’s buyers are looking online first—your listing photos are your first showing.
I work with trusted photographers and marketing pros to make sure your home’s online presence is polished, inviting, and market-ready.
Selling Doesn’t Have to Be Stressful—Not When You Have the Right Support
When you work with me, prepping your home for the market becomes a clear, step-by-step process. I handle the details, coordinate the pros, and help you stay focused on the bigger picture: a smooth sale and a strong return.
