Get Your Home Ready to Sell

The same checklist I walk through with every seller before we list: what to fix, what to skip, and how to get the house ready for photos and showings.

3X
The 3X Rule

Pay now, or pay more later

Buyers multiply repair costs by 3–4x at inspection. The $2K you skip on prep becomes $6–8K at the negotiation table. You're either gonna pay now, or pay later.

Lighting The #1 skipped item

Touch-Ups, Paint & Fixtures

Curb Appeal 4–6 week lead time

Showing Day The non-negotiables

Closets & Pantries

Photo Day Stricter than showings

Smell Buyers notice in 3 seconds

Pre-List Inspections Offense only

Checkboxes are just for you while you work through the list; nothing is saved or sent.

Before you start
