Selling Your Home? Here’s What to Do First

Introduction:
Selling your home takes more than listing it on Zillow. It requires preparation, marketing, and strategy. Here’s what I recommend every seller do before putting their home on the market.

  1. Declutter and Deep Clean
    First impressions matter. A clean and minimal look allows buyers to imagine themselves in the space.
  2. Get a Pre-Listing Inspection
    This helps avoid surprises later and can give you leverage in pricing.
  3. Update Light Fixtures and Paint
    A fresh coat of paint and modern lighting go a long way in boosting appeal.
  4. Professional Photography
    High-quality photos get more views—and more showings.
  5. Price It Right
    I’ll run a custom market analysis to make sure your home is priced to sell—without leaving money on the table.
  6. Boost Curb Appeal
    The exterior sets the tone. Simple upgrades like fresh mulch, trimmed bushes, and a tidy lawn can attract more buyers.
  7. Stage Key Areas
    Focus on staging the living room, kitchen, and primary bedroom to help buyers visualize the home’s potential.
  8. Make Minor Repairs
    Fix leaky faucets, squeaky doors, and loose handles. Small fixes show your home is well cared for.
  9. Be Flexible with Showings
    The more available your home is for viewings, the more potential buyers you’ll reach—flexibility can lead to a quicker sale.
