What Should Sellers Do Before Listing Their Home?

If you want top dollar, don’t just list your home—launch it like a product.

Here’s the seller prep checklist I use with my clients:

The “Top Dollar” Prep Plan

• Declutter and depersonalize

• Deep clean (everywhere)

• Minor repairs (paint, caulk, fixtures)

• Improve curb appeal

• Professional photography (non-negotiable)

• Strategic pricing based on sold comps

• Marketing plan across social + MLS + agent network

This is where I shine: I don’t just “put it on MLS.” I create exposure and demand with a real strategy.

✅ Local Expert Tip: Small improvements can create huge returns. Sometimes $500–$2,000 in prep can add thousands to your final sales price.
