The Process

A Convenient Checklist

Real estate has many aspects. One of my favorites is when a seller surrenders their home to me and my team so we can take their home from “lived in” to “staged to sell.” As a professional Realtor, it is one of the services I provide. However, if you wish to do it yourself, here is a brief recap of what I recommend.

The Process

Planning

I start with a thorough walk-through, assessing the property’s curb appeal, gardens, walkways, fixtures, paint, floors, appliances, rooms, bathrooms, fireplace(s), electrical, furnace, basement, and foundation. I also check hidden systems like the roof and sewer. After noting everything and visualizing a plan, we finish with window washing, deep cleaning, and staging.

Preperation

Whether we handle the transformation together or you do it on your own, obtaining bids is the next step. I have a team of service providers who meet with me at a moment’s notice, so I can line up everyone within a day or two for estimates. Once bids are in, I sit down with the sellers to review what makes financial sense and highlight what’s essential. Then we prioritize together. Preparing a home for market usually takes 10 days to three weeks, which also allows time to create the advertising and online presence before going live.

Transformation

A commitment from the homeowner and attention to detail is critical as there are many moving parts and lots to coordinate. Typically this entails removing clutter, exchanging old furniture for new, and adding beautiful accessories. There are many talented stagers and designers who are wonderful to work with during this process. I’ve also been known to make a dozen trips to various supply stores to find just the right appliances, fixtures or hardware for a client. By partnering with myself and our wonderful service providers we are able to create a flawless transition. From “lived in” to “staged to sell”, the transformation is exciting each and every time.

The Risk

Clients love their home so much, sometimes they want to stay!
