7-Day Listing Prep Checklist That Moves the Needle

Seven days is plenty to elevate how buyers perceive your home online. Start with decluttering surfaces, neutralizing scent, and brightening rooms with natural light. Fresh linens and minimal décor help photos read clean and inviting.

Next, fix small items that stand out in photos: loose door handles, scuffed baseboards, burnt bulbs. A quick mulch refresh and edged lawn boosts curb appeal and sets the tone before buyers step inside.

Round it out with a showing plan: lights on, temperature comfortable, and easy lockbox access. The goal is friction-free showings that convert to offers.
