How to Prepare Your Home for Sale in 14 Days

Selling doesn't have to be stressful. Here's the exact 14-day plan I walk my sellers through.

Days 1–3: Declutter. Ruthlessly. If you haven't used it in 6 months, box it.

Days 4–6: Repair and refresh. Fix squeaky doors, patch holes, and consider a fresh coat of paint in high-traffic areas.

Days 7–9: Deep clean. Windows, grout, skirting — buyers notice everything.

Days 10–12: Style. Bring in a stylist or use our in-house team.

Days 13–14: Photograph and go live. Professional photography is non-negotiable in 2026.
