My home is on the market. What are the next steps?

Deep clean, declutter, and depersonalize to make your home shine for showings. First impressions count — prep inside and out to wow every potential buyer.

Preparing for Showings

At this stage, it’s all about making your home show-worthy. Go above and beyond to highlight the care you’ve put into your space. A well-presented home stands out and gets noticed — especially when competing with other properties on the market.


Showing Prep Tips

  1. Invest in a deep clean
    Go beyond basic tidying. Consider having your windows and carpets professionally cleaned.
    Don’t forget curb appeal — the exterior matters just as much as the interior.

  2. Spend time de-cluttering
    Channel your inner Marie Kondo and minimize visible items. A cleaner space helps rooms feel larger and more inviting.

  3. Depersonalize the space
    Buyers want to imagine themselves living in the home.
    Remove large family photos and personal items that could distract from that vision.

  4. Secure your valuables
    Before any showings, remove or lock up valuable items like jewelry, watches, passports, and cash.
