Prep Early: Complete exterior maintenance—fix gutters, repaint, rake leaves, and brighten windows before cold weather limits improvements.
Warm and Welcoming: Keep interiors cozy and decorated; personal touches help buyers imagine themselves living there.
Avoid Neglect: Maintain curb appeal, keep utilities on in vacant homes, and price realistically to attract serious buyers.
Smart Offer Choices: Don’t just chase the highest price—consider buyer reliability, timing, and financing for the best outcome.
