The Ultimate Home Selling Checklist

Selling your home doesn't have to be stressful. With the right preparation and a clear plan, you can maximize your sale price and minimize headaches. Here's my comprehensive checklist for selling your home.

6-8 Weeks Before Listing

• Schedule a home evaluation. Get an honest assessment of your home's value and condition.
• Declutter and depersonalize. Remove family photos, excess furniture, and personal items.
• Make necessary repairs. Fix leaky faucets, squeaky doors, cracked tiles, and burned-out bulbs.
• Boost curb appeal. Power wash, fresh mulch, trimmed landscaping, and a clean front door.

2-4 Weeks Before Listing

• Deep clean everything. Hire a professional cleaning service if possible.
• Stage key rooms. Focus on living room, kitchen, and master bedroom.
• Professional photography. First impressions matter — most buyers start online.
• Gather important documents. Survey, warranty info, utility bills, HOA documents.

During the Listing Period

• Keep show-ready. Maintain cleanliness and curb appeal for every showing.
• Be flexible. The more accessible your home, the more showings you'll get.
• Stay in touch with your agent. I'll keep you updated on feedback and market response.
• Review offers carefully. Price isn't everything — terms, contingencies, and buyer strength matter.

Under Contract

• Inspection period. Be prepared for repair requests. I'll negotiate on your behalf.
• Appraisal. If the appraisal comes in low, we have options to negotiate.
• Title work. Ensure there are no title issues that could delay closing.
• Final walkthrough. The buyer will do a final walkthrough before closing.
