For most homeowners, there’s a long “thinking-about-it” period—often 9 to 24 months—before a home actually goes on the market. It’s a big decision. Before you tackle the where-to-next questions—size, type, location—you need clarity on how best to prepare your current home for sale.
Selling your home means navigating emotional attachments and protecting your biggest investment. Too often, sellers make costly missteps—spending on the wrong upgrades, ignoring issues that matter to buyers, or simply overlooking what makes a home truly market-ready.
