Are you thinking about selling your home in 2025? While that may sound like ages away, the truth is that the best time to start preparing is NOW! Selling a home may seem daunting but fear not! We're here to guide you every step of the way.

Let’s break down steps we should take right now to ensure you get the highest price for your home in the least amount of time.

Step 1: Schedule a Visit with Us for a Complete Home Assessment

Before you even think of putting a "For Sale" sign in your yard, let’s take a good look at your home. This includes:

• Home Assessment: We start with an in-person visit to your home to evaluate its current condition. Together, we’ll create a comprehensive list of tasks that will help you maximize your home’s value.
• Home Enrichment Insights: Instead of focusing just on repairs, we provide our clients with a list of enriching upgrades that can enhance the lifestyle aspects of your home. Easy-to-implement ideas include creating a cozy outdoor space, incorporating smart home technology, or adding a small garden. We will talk about trends in energy efficiency, home automation, and sustainable living practices that appeal to today’s buyers.
• 7 Point Evaluation: As part of this process, once you have signed a listing agreement, we conduct an evaluation to catch any potential issues early on. This proactive step not only streamlines the selling process but also builds trust with prospective buyers.

Step 2: Create An Action Plan

Now that we have a solid understanding of what needs to be done, it’s time to plan our attack!

• Contractor Coordination: We connect you with our trusted contractors who can tackle repairs and improvements discussed during our visit. We’ll help coordinate their visits and oversee the work to ensure everything stays on track.
• Timeline Creation: Together, we’ll set a timeline for completing repairs, staging and enhancements so that we can move swiftly and efficiently.

Step 3: Declutter and Depersonalize

Decluttering helps your home shine and makes it easier for potential buyers to envision their lives in your space. It also makes the moving process easier.

• We will give you a room-by-room plan: Tackle one room at a time. Sort items into "keep," "donate," and "throw away" piles. Don’t forget those closet spaces!
• Personal Touches: We will advise you on if you need to temporarily removing family photos and personal knick-knacks to create an inviting, neutral backdrop.

Step 4: Get Ahead with Home Staging

Our expert staging services can transform your home from “meh” to “wow” in no time!

• Staging Plan: We will give you tailored advice on how to present your home beautifully. Staging is not just about aesthetics; it’s about showcasing your home’s strengthsand features!
• Minor Repairs: We’ll guide you on which repairs, and touch ups can maximize your home’s appeal—think fresh paint, minor fixes, and landscaping changes that will leave a great first impression. Even the littlest things can make a big difference to buyers!

Step 5: Plan Your Market Date

Timing is everything in real estate!

• Market Analysis: We’ll discuss the best dates to list your home based on market conditions, aiming to maximize your price and minimize time on the market.
• Personalized Marketing Campaign: Together, we’ll outline an effective marketing plan to generate buzz once your home hits the market!

Step 6: Maintain Your Home Until the Sale

While you prepare to sell, we will keep a close eye on your property's condition. Regular maintenance now will pay off later:

• Seasonal Maintenance Checklist: We provide our clients with a seasonal maintenance checklist tailored to your home. This includes tasks such as gutter cleaning, HVAC servicing, or landscaping updates to ensure the home is in pristine condition when it hits the market.
• Curb Appeal: Invest in some seasonal flowers or fresh landscaping. A bit of outdoor love can go a long way!
