How Long Does It Take to Get Your Home Show-Ready? What Every Seller Should Know

Selling your home is a big decision, but rushing to list without proper preparation can cost you thousands. Getting your home “show-ready” before putting it on the market is crucial to maximize your sale price and attract serious buyers quickly.

Why Show-Ready Is Essential

Simply listing your home on the MLS without prepping can turn buyers away. A thorough walkthrough identifies what needs fixing or updating to make your home appealing.

Steps to Get Show-Ready

Meet with your agent to discuss necessary repairs or improvements
Schedule a professional staging consultation (usually free)
Complete minor repairs and declutter

The Cost of Rushing to List

Homes not prepared properly tend to stay longer on the market and sell for less. Taking the time upfront can save tens of thousands in the long run.
