Small improvements create big value. Before listing, prioritize:
-
Fresh paint in neutral tones
-
Minor repairs (leaky faucets, cracked tiles, loose doorknobs)
-
Decluttering and deep cleaning
-
Lighting and curb appeal upgrades
Skip major renovations unless something’s truly outdated or broken.
I often guide sellers using my Pre-List Preparation Checklist and Coldwell Banker RealVitalize program — which covers pre-sale improvements with no upfront cost until closing.
