When it comes to selling your home, a lot of people think the process starts when a sign goes up on the front lawn. The truth? If you want top dollar, the work starts well before that.
First Impressions Are Everything
Buyers make decisions quickly. Online photos and the very first showing can determine whether your home gets multiple offers—or sits on the market. That’s why preparing your home before listing is so important. Small changes, fresh paint, updated décor, and a deep clean can completely change how buyers see your space.
Sometimes Spending a Little Brings a Lot Back
It may feel like a hassle (or an expense) to make updates before selling, but often those investments pay for themselves and then some. A minor refresh can help your home stand out, sell faster, and bring in stronger offers. Think of it as setting the stage for buyers to picture their own lives in your home.
My Role in the Process
The best way to know where to focus your efforts is to have me walk through the property with you. I’ll point out what really matters to today’s buyers—and what doesn’t—so you don’t waste time or money. Did you know we also have an in-house stager and photographer on our team? Together, we create a plan that ensures your home shines both in person and online.
The Proof Is in the Pictures
Below, you’ll see some before-and-after photos from a recent listing. With just a few strategic changes, the transformation was incredible—and it made a huge difference in my clients’ bottom line. The home not only looked amazing in person, but it also stood out online, where most buyers start their search.
