01
Identify likely buyer alternatives
Review recent sales and active listings with a similar property type, layout, condition, and location. Note parking or outdoor space where relevant, but do not treat unlike homes as direct comparables simply because they share a neighborhood name.
02
Verify what the listing will say
Gather available records for renovations, permits, taxes, and major systems. Confirm any advertised additional unit or converted area with appropriate records. Your attorney or the relevant city agency can help with property-specific questions.
03
Choose useful preparation
Prioritize repairs and presentation that help buyers understand the home. Set a realistic photography and showing schedule, then agree on when to review buyer feedback and revisit the plan if needed.
