WHAT I WOULD DO FIRST IF I WERE TO LIST YOUR HOME


Before your home hits the market, my first step isn’t taking photos or setting the price—it’s walking through your home as a buyer would.


Why? Because first impressions MATTER, and the little details buyers notice can make a huge difference. My goal is to make sure your home feels move-in-ready and irresistible from the moment they step inside.


The end result? More interest, stronger offers, and a faster sale.


FIRST: I’ll look at your home with fresh eyes, just like a buyer would during a showing.


So that we can highlight the best features of your home while also catching anything that could be a red flag. Maybe a fresh coat of paint is needed, some simple staging could make a space feel bigger, or a minor repair could prevent future negotiation headaches.


THEN:


I’ll suggest simple updates that will help maximize value, including:



    • Decluttering and depersonalizing so buyers can picture themselves in the space

    • Minor repairs or touch-ups that make your home feel move-in-ready

    • Easy staging tips to highlight your home’s best features


Thinking about selling? Let’s start with a walkthrough—you’d be surprised at what a few simple changes can do!
