What's worth doing before you list
Buyers notice condition first in the photos. Small, cheap fixes usually do more than big projects.
Usually worth it
A deep clean, touch-up paint on scuffed or bold walls, fixing leaks and broken fixtures, replacing burnt-out bulbs, and a tidy front yard.
Talk to us first
Kitchen or bath remodels, new flooring throughout, or a new roof. Some pay back and many don't. We'll look at what nearby homes sold for with and without the upgrade.
Who handles it
We schedule the cleaners, junk removal and handymen around you. Depending on your listing package, we pay for this prep.
A pre-inspection, before buyers find it
- What it is
-
A home inspection done for you before the home goes on the market.
- Why sellers do it
-
You find out about a roof leak or a failing water heater on your schedule, and decide whether to fix it, price for it or disclose it. Fewer surprises once a buyer's inspector walks through.
- What it costs you
-
Ask us. On many of our listings it's part of the prep we cover.
Getting ready for photo day
Every listing gets a professional shoot: interiors, the yard, a twilight cover photo and drone. This list makes it go quickly.
- Clear kitchen and bathroom counters
- Put away personal photos and paperwork
- Open blinds and turn on every light
- Make beds and fold or remove towels
- Move cars out of the driveway
- Put trash cans out of sight
- Mow, edge and sweep the walkways
- Turn on pool and yard lights for the twilight shot
