SELLERS

Deciding to sell your home can leave you with mixed emotions. Excitement for the future and nerve wracked about the home selling process. Staying organized before and throughout the process can help calm those nerves. Review the checklist below to determine what you should consider prior to listing your home on the market.

Items to Consider and Organize Prior to Selling Your Home

  • Organize important documents. Gather any essential documents related to your home. This could include property records, warranties, renovation permits, or utility bills.

  • Gather financial information. Collect information on your home’s current mortgage, including the outstanding balance and any prepayment penalties.
     
  • Stay organized. Maintain a folder or digital space to store important documents, records of showings, and any offers or counter offers received. 

  • Assess your home’s condition. Take a true look at your home like you would through a buyer’s eye. Address any needed repairs or maintenance that could be questioned by a potential buyer. 

  • Enhance your curb appeal. Potential buyers get their first impressions when they drive up to a home. Spruce up the exterior of your home with a well-maintained lawn, a freshly painted front door, some potted plants, or new house numbers. 

  • Declutter and depersonalize. Removing personal items and unnecessary furniture and clutter will help potential buyers start to visualize themselves in the space.

  • Consider your next move. Start planning for a future move. Evaluate your timeline and make considerations for a smooth transition.
