Prepare your home for sale before the first listing

Write down the starting position

Record the property type, occupancy, desired timing and repairs you already know about. Distinguish what you have verified from what still needs checking. This makes pricing and buyer conversations more reliable.

Choose work by its likely effect

Cleaning, minor repairs and clear photography can improve presentation. Major renovations need a separate cost-and-buyer assessment; their expense is not automatically recovered in a sale. Photos should show rooms honestly and correspond to the actual condition and available documents.

Make viewings and information consistent

Check the area, energy details, floor plan and statements in the listing against the records you possess. Decide who can attend viewings and what private information should stay out of public images. We can help sequence these steps before you decide to advertise.
