How Do I Prepare My Home for Sale?

In my experience, a well-prepared home always commands stronger offers and sells faster. The first step is decluttering — buyers need to envision themselves in the space, and too many personal items or excess furniture can make that difficult. Next, focus on curb appeal. The exterior is the first impression, so clean up the yard, add fresh mulch, and touch up paint where needed. Inside, deep clean everything — windows, baseboards, and light fixtures — as buyers notice cleanliness more than you might think. Neutral colors help rooms appear larger and more inviting. Finally, address minor repairs like leaky faucets or loose handles; these small fixes build confidence that the home has been well maintained. A pre-listing inspection can also be valuable, allowing you to resolve potential issues before they appear on a buyer’s report.
