Tips That Actually Work …

Let’s Talk Prep Work - A Little Goes A Long Way.

Before the “For Sale” sign hits the lawn and the scent of fresh cookies fills the air for showings — there’s the prep. And no, I don’t mean turning your life upside down. But I do mean a few smart moves that can seriously help your home sell faster… and for more.

I’ve been in enough homes across Cochrane to tell you this: the ones that feel clean, calm, and well-loved? Those are the ones that get snatched up quickly. It’s not about perfection — it’s about presenting your home in a way that lets buyers picture their life unfolding there.

Let’s Start Outside.

Curb appeal is real. The front yard doesn’t need to be magazine-worthy, but it should feel welcoming. Freshly swept walkways, tidy flower beds, and a front door that doesn’t scream “I’ve seen things.” Those first impressions? They matter.

Now, Let’s Take It Inside.

This is where the magic happens—if buyers can see past the clutter. And listen, I know life is busy and full (especially if you’ve got kids, pets, or both), but less really is more when it comes to selling. The goal? Create breathing room. Let those beautiful hardwood floors or that big bay window shine.

Personal items, knick-knacks, and anything that screams you? They can quietly wait in storage until the deal is done. It’s not about hiding your personality—it’s about making space for someone else’s imagination to take over.

The Little Things Matter Too.

That leaky faucet you’ve meant to fix for the past six months? It’s time. Squeaky doors, burnt-out bulbs, anything that feels a bit “off”—buyers notice. And while they might not say it out loud, it can quietly plant doubt. A home that feels cared for puts people at ease. That’s what we want.

Then There’s The Big One — Pricing.

Look, I get it—your home holds a lot of value, both sentimental and financial. But pricing it based on emotion? That’s where things can stall. The good news is, you don’t have to guess. That’s where I come in. I’ve got a handle on the Cochrane market, what’s moving, and what buyers are willing to pay. Together, we’ll land on a price that’s smart, strategic, and sets you up for success right out of the gate.

If you’re getting the itch to list or just want to chat about timing, prep, or whether it’s worth painting that half-bath… I’m here. No pressure. No hard sells. Just honest advice and a solid plan for when you’re ready.
