SELLER GUIDE
Before you list: prepare with purpose.
Not every home needs a major makeover. The goal is to spend time and money where it can improve presentation and reduce avoidable friction.
PRACTICAL GUIDE
The high-impact basics
Declutter
Create a little more breathing room so buyers can see the home itself.
Clean
Deep-clean kitchens, baths, floors, windows and high-touch areas.
Repair
Address visible maintenance items that could distract buyers.
Curb appeal
Tidy landscaping, entry areas and exterior details.
PRACTICAL GUIDE
Before spending on renovations
Ask whether the improvement solves a visible issue, improves first impressions or helps the home compete with nearby listings. A large renovation is not automatically the best use of money before a sale.
- Get a market-informed opinion before committing to major work.
- Consider the condition of competing homes.
- Keep the buyer profile and likely price range in mind.
- Save receipts and information for work that has been completed.
PRACTICAL GUIDE
Listing-readiness checklist
- Pricing strategy reviewed against recent comparable sales and current competition.
- Photography and marketing plan ready.
- Showing instructions decided.
- Disclosure information gathered.
