Maximize your home sale

Follow these tips to help you plan for your home sale — and reach its full potential.

Your step-by-step guide to selling

Decide when you'd like to sell, explore your market, and talk to potential agents about how they would market your listing, including online.

Six weeks before listing: Before signing a listing agreement with an agent, discuss your marketing plan. If you're aligned, make it official and start planning — the earlier the better.

One month before listing: Start sprucing the place up. Your agent can help determine cosmetic fixes to make and items that will turn off buyers. If you can, get a storage pod or unit and start packing up, a little at a time.

Two to three weeks before listing: Contact your lender and ask for the loan payout information for your mortgage.

One week before listing: Once you’ve got the house looking its best, your agent can help you coordinate photography.

When your listing is live: Keep your home clean and clutter-free so your agent is ready to show it at a moment's notice — and watch the offers roll in.
