Seller Preparation Checklist
Simple steps to help your home show its best
✔
Consider your curb appeal
A clean exterior and tidy entry create a strong first impression before buyers even step inside.
✔
Declutter living areas
Clear surfaces and open spaces help buyers visualize the home’s layout and potential.
✔
Depersonalize your space
Neutralizing personal items allows buyers to imagine themselves living in the home.
✔
Repaint to light, neutral tones
Soft, neutral colors brighten rooms and appeal to the widest range of buyers.
✔
Touch up small repairs
Minor fixes signal care and attention, helping buyers feel confident in the home’s condition.
Buyer Preparation Checklist
Simple steps to help you purchase with confidence
✔
Get pre-approved
A pre-approval strengthens your offer, clarifies your budget, and shows sellers you’re financially ready.
✔
Define your must-haves
Identify your non-negotiables versus nice-to-haves so you can focus your search and move quickly when the right home appears.
✔
Review your full budget
Understand your estimated monthly payment, property taxes, insurance, and cash-to-close before writing an offer.
✔
Prepare documentation
Have pay stubs, bank statements, and proof of funds ready to streamline your loan and offer process.
✔
Create a strategy with your agent
A strong offer strategy—including price, contingencies, and timing—can make the difference between winning and missing out.
