Preparing to sell a home

A decision-first checklist for timing, condition, documentation, and professional conversations.

Clarify the goal

Start with timing and constraints

Consider why you may sell, when you need to move, whether another purchase is involved, and which costs could affect your proceeds. These constraints shape the questions you take to a licensed professional.

Prepare the property

Prioritize facts before projects

Collect ownership, improvement, utility, insurance, permit, and maintenance records that may help qualified professionals understand the property. Rules and disclosure duties vary by location.

  • Address known safety or maintenance concerns.
  • Request several opinions before major pre-sale spending.
  • Keep receipts and supporting records for completed work.

Compare support

Interview professionals on the same criteria

Ask each professional to explain local experience, recommended preparation, marketing approach, communication, compensation, and the evidence behind any opinion. Review agreements carefully before signing.
