If selling this fall is on your radar, here’s where I’d start 🍂
✨ Tackle the little things. Touch up scuffed paint, tighten loose handles, replace burned-out bulbs, fix dripping faucets and take care of those little projects you’ve been meaning to get to. Small details add up when buyers walk through.
✨ Declutter, but don’t completely depersonalize. Start packing away the extras so rooms feel larger, lighter and easier for buyers to picture themselves in—but keep enough personality for your home to still feel warm and inviting.
✨ Give it a really good deep clean. Windows, baseboards, grout, appliances, cabinets… all the places we stop noticing when we live somewhere every day. A sparkling clean home simply shows better.
✨ Walk up to your front door like a buyer. Pressure wash, freshen up landscaping, clean the entry and add a few simple touches. Buyers are forming an opinion before they ever step inside.
✨ Price for the market you’re IN. Not last year’s market and not based on what another home is asking. Recent sales, current competition and buyer activity should all be part of the conversation.
And finally… have a plan for how your home will hit the market. Professional photography, thoughtful staging, strong listing copy and the right marketing can make all the difference in those important first days.
If selling this fall has crossed your mind, I’m always happy to walk through your home with you and tell you what I’d do, what I’d skip, and where I think your money is best spent. 🤍
