Want Top Dollar? Prep Your Home Before You List

In today’s market, first impressions aren’t just important—they’re everything.

If you're getting ready to sell your home in Delta County, a little prep work before listing can mean the difference between a fast, competitive sale and a listing that lingers.

Buyers want move-in ready. They want clean, well-kept, and lovingly maintained. The good news? With a few simple improvements, you can boost your home's appeal and attract stronger offers.

Here’s Your Pre-Listing Prep Checklist

✔️ Clean gutters & power wash the exterior: Buyers notice grime, mold, and clutter. A sparkling clean exterior makes your home shine from the curb.

✔️ Fix leaky faucets & squeaky doors: Small repairs show big care. Tighten knobs, stop drips, and oil hinges—buyers will appreciate the attention to detail.

✔️ Refresh landscaping for curb appeal: Add mulch, trim bushes, and plant seasonal flowers. First impressions start the moment they park.

✔️ Touch up interior paint for a fresh look: Neutral tones make spaces feel bigger and brighter. Cover scuffs and chips for a move-in-ready feel.

✔️ Have HVAC & plumbing checked: No buyer wants surprise repairs. Showing that your systems are in top shape adds major confidence—and value.
