So, you’ve decided to sell your home—exciting! But if you're feeling overwhelmed about where to start, you're not alone. Getting your home ready for the market doesn’t have to be stressful. With a simple 30-day plan, you can break the process into manageable steps that make a big impact. Let’s walk through it together:

Days 1–7: Declutter & Deep Clean
Start by clearing out the clutter. Go room by room and donate, sell, or toss anything you don’t use or need. The goal is to create a space that feels clean, spacious, and neutral.
Next, give your home a deep clean. Scrub the floors, wipe down walls and baseboards, and make sure every corner shines. If the task feels too big, consider bringing in a professional cleaning service to help you start fresh.
Days 8–14: Tackle Repairs & Boost Curb Appeal
Now’s the time to take care of all those little fixes you've been putting off. Leaky faucet? Loose cabinet handle? Tiny nail holes in the walls? Fix them.
Don’t forget your home’s first impression—curb appeal matters! Mow the lawn, trim the bushes, and maybe add a new welcome mat or potted plant by the door to make the entrance inviting.
Days 15–21: Easy Upgrades & Home Staging
Small upgrades can go a long way. A fresh coat of neutral paint, new light fixtures, or modern cabinet hardware can give your home a more updated feel without blowing your budget.
Staging is also key. Rearranging furniture to create an open, welcoming flow and adding finishing touches like fresh flowers or cozy throws can help buyers imagine themselves living there.
Days 22–27: Hire a Pro Photographer
In today’s digital-first world, your online listing photos matter—a lot. This is not the time for quick phone snapshots. Hiring a professional real estate photographer is one of the best investments you can make. They’ll capture your home in its best light and help draw more buyers in.
Days 28–30: Get Show-Ready
Now it’s showtime! Keep your home clean and clutter-free, and remove personal items like family photos or bold decor so buyers can picture themselves in the space. You want your home to feel warm, neutral, and welcoming.
Need Help? You’re Not Alone
If this all sounds like a lot to manage on your own, don’t worry—that’s where I come in. A good real estate agent can walk you through every step, connect you with trusted local pros, and make the whole process smoother and less stressful.
