Selling your home is more than putting a sign on the lawn - it’s a journey, and the best results start before you hit the market.
Whether you're upsizing, downsizing, or just exploring your options, these five steps will help you prepare your home for the best possible outcome.
Know Your Market Timing
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t always need to wait for spring. The North Shore has strong year-round buyer demand, especially in well-loved suburbs.
📌 Seller Tip: Book a free appraisal to understand current buyer activity in your suburb. Timing can give you a competitive edge.
Declutter & Depersonalise
Buyers need to imagine themselves living in your home - not visiting yours. A clean, neutral space helps your home feel larger and more appealing.
📌 Seller Tip: Start with the “big 3” – living areas, kitchen benches, and wardrobe spaces.
Small Fixes, Big Impact
That squeaky hinge, chipped paint, or dated light fixture might seem minor - but buyers notice. A few cost-effective tweaks can shift perception from “needs work” to “move-in ready.”
📌 Seller Tip: A pre-market walk-through with me can highlight easy wins that increase your value.
Understand Your Property’s Worth
Online estimates are rough guesses. A professional appraisal considers current sales, buyer trends, and your home’s unique features.
📌 Seller Tip: I offer free, no-obligation market updates tailored to your street and home type.
Choose an Agent Who Markets Strategically
Not all real estate marketing is equal. From beautiful staging to targeted digital reach, the right strategy attracts more qualified buyers and better offers.
📌 Seller Tip: Ask any agent how they plan to market your home before you list.
