Home Prep for Sale Checklist
Use this as a conversation starter with your Realtor. Not every task fits every home; decide together what makes sense.
Plan first
- Discuss timing, goals, and showing needs.
- Ask which repairs or updates are worth evaluating.
- Gather service records, warranties, and appliance information you have.
Make spaces feel cared for
- Clear walkways and entry areas.
- Put away personal items and reduce visible clutter where practical.
- Clean surfaces, windows, and high-touch areas.
- Replace burnt-out bulbs and check easy-to-see fixtures.
- Freshen outdoor entry areas and remove loose debris.
Before photography or showings
- Confirm the photography and showing plan with your Realtor.
- Secure valuables, medications, personal documents, and pets.
- Set a routine for lights, temperature, and leaving the home.
- Ask how to handle scheduling changes or questions.
