What’s the best way to get ready to list your home for sale? There are so many conflicting answers to this question, that it feels impossible to know what to do. The reason for this is that every home is unique. What’s right for one house may not be right for another.

The best way to decide what pre-listing prep work your specific home needs is to ask your agent. In fact, figuring out what fixes and upgrades will bring in the biggest ROI (return on investment) is a big reason why finding a top-notch agent is the first step every seller should take.

These are the “To Do or Not To Do” questions you need to ask your agent:

1. Should I Refurbish My Walls and Floors?
2. Should I Deep Clean?
3. Should I Declutter, Depersonalize and Start Packing?
4. Should I Get Professional Staging and Photography?
5. Should I Get a Pre-Listing Inspection?
6. Should I Investigate My Home?
7. Should I Make Upgrades?

The market is right—if you're working with the right agent.

Now is a great time to take your equity and move into something that actually fits your lifestyle, without overpaying. Prices may seem unpredictable, but with the right strategy, opportunities are everywhere.

Just last week, I negotiated a 20% price reduction for a client—giving them instant equity the day they closed. That kind of result doesn’t happen by accident.

It comes from understanding:

The market

The property

The client’s goals..and knowing how to negotiate.

If you're thinking about buying or selling (or even just exploring your options), don’t hesitate to reach out.
Let’s make sure your next move is your smartest one yet.
