Seller preparation
Prepare with
a purpose.
A practical preparation plan starts with condition, presentation and the time available—not a shopping list of renovations.
Open the checklistA preparation checklist.
First · Assess
Understand the condition.
List known repairs, recurring maintenance and questions that need a qualified professional. Gather relevant records and warranties.
Next · Simplify
Make the space easy to read.
Clear circulation routes, reduce visual clutter and review furniture placement. Keep useful storage accessible and organize the spaces buyers will see.
Before photography
Check the details.
Clean surfaces and windows, replace failed light bulbs, tidy outdoor areas and prepare each room consistently.
Choose projects
with a reason.
| Priority | Questions to discuss |
|---|---|
| Maintenance | What needs attention regardless of the sale? Who should assess it? |
| Presentation | Would cleaning, lighting or arrangement make the home easier to understand? |
| Larger changes | What are the cost, timing and uncertainty? Is there enough evidence to justify the work? |
Prepare for the lens.
Plan for the showing.
A photograph captures a room at one moment. A showing adds sound, movement and the connections between spaces. Walk through the home in both ways before deciding it is ready.
