Repairs & inspection strategy
Prioritize safety, active damage and material systems. Discuss whether pre-listing inspections would clarify risk and how findings affect disclosure obligations with local professionals.
Decision intelligence
Spend where it matters.
Prepare the property with a purpose, a budget and a stopping point.
Staging
Aim for clear circulation, proportion and visibility of the space. Use existing furnishings where practical and seek a scoped proposal before committing to staging.
Photography, video & floorplans
Plan consistent, accurate visual materials after preparation is complete. Floorplans should help buyers understand the layout and be verified for accuracy.
Vendor coordination
Confirm scope, insurance where relevant, written pricing, access and completion dates. No vendor endorsements are published until names and relationships are verified.
What not to spend on unnecessarily
Avoid major personalized renovations without evidence that they support the sale. Compare the likely benefit, disruption, carrying cost and risk of delay before approving work.
