Focus preparation on condition and the buyer's ability to understand the home.
Choose useful work
Clean, reduce clutter and improve access. Discuss repairs and modest presentation changes with the agent, then obtain quotes. No upgrade or styling package assures the best possible price.
Keep risky work professional
Plumbing, electrical and structural work need appropriate expertise. Do not crawl into unsafe subfloors or climb onto gutters to prepare the home. Investigate defects before covering surfaces and keep work records. A realistic campaign uses evidence and honest presentation, with a budget that leaves room for selling and moving costs.
