What’s Inside
- Exterior & Curb Appeal – power washing, landscaping, lighting, and the front porch, so buyers’ first impression is a great one.
- Clean – windows, baseboards, carpets, appliances, bathrooms, and odors.
- Declutter – counters, closets, paperwork, toys, pantry, and garage, so buyers can picture themselves living there.
- Quick Repairs – wall patches, neutral paint, lightbulbs, leaky faucets, and doors and windows that latch properly.
- Room-by-Room – checklists for bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, living room, garage, and laundry room.
