If I were planning to sell my home in 2026, here I'd start doing now!

Ready to make a BIG move when the time is right for you in 2026? The secret to selling for top dollar 💰 isn’t rushing later-it’s prepping now so everything feels easy when you’re ready. These are the exact kinds of things my sellers do to set themselves up for success. Let’s be real - life is busy. Work, kids, schedules, all of it. That’s why getting ahead now is such a game changer. When the time comes, you’re calm, confident, and not scrambling. Here’s the truth: Most sellers wait until the last minute..then panic., Contractors are booked, clutter feels overwhelming, and stress levels go through the roof. Hard pass. Let’s avoid that. Getting your home ready early gives you options. And since spring is usually packed with sellers, being ready means you can list before the crowd if that makes sense for you-and sometimes that’s a big advantage. Here’s where to start (nothing crazy, I promise): 1️⃣Declutter + organize Closets, cabinets, storage-less stuff = more space. It instantly makes your home feel better and makes moving easier later. 2️⃣Line up contractors (I can help!) Small repairs, paint touch-ups, updates- having a plan now saves major headaches later. ‘ll help you create a simple punch list and connect you to the right people. 3️⃣Make a few small updates Think new light fixtures or cabinet hardware. Low effort, big impact and buyers love it. When you’re ready, l’d love to walk you through what actually matters - and what you can skip-to get the most money for your home with the least stress. 4️⃣Text me “Checklist” and I’ll send you my Top-Dollar Home Prep Checklist.
