What the results mean
- Progress: How much of the prep list is done. You do not need 100% to list; focus on the items buyers notice most.
Frequently asked questions
What should I fix before selling?
Small, visible repairs usually pay off most: leaks, sticky doors, paint touch-ups and burnt-out bulbs. Bigger projects depend on your price range and timeline.
Should I stage my home?
Staging and good styling often help photos and showings. Even simple steps like neutral bedding and decluttering make a difference.
Do I need a pre-listing inspection?
It is optional, but it can surface issues early so there are fewer surprises in escrow. Ask Jay whether it makes sense for your home.
How far ahead should I start?
Two to six weeks is common, depending on repairs and how much you need to declutter.
