Getting a home ready to sell can feel like a hundred small decisions at once. This plan turns it into a simple, week-by-week routine, so you always know what to do next and you never waste a weekend on something buyers will not notice.
The full day-by-day version is in the PDF above, yours to download and keep. Below is the overview so you can see how it fits together. If you are still deciding whether now is even the right time to sell, start with the honest two-minute quiz: Should you sell your home yet?
One note before you begin: this describes our general process for preparing a home in Wyoming. It is not legal, tax, or lending advice. For your specific home and timeline, lean on us and your title company.
Why the first two weeks matter most
Buyers decide how they feel about a home in the first few seconds, online and at the door. A home that photographs clean and shows well draws more showings, and more showings are what create competition. That is the whole game: presentation brings buyers, and buyers bring your price up.
The good news is that the work that moves the needle is rarely the expensive work. Most of it is time and attention, not a big remodel. The plan focuses your effort where it actually changes the outcome.
The 30 days, week by week
- Week 1, clear the way. Declutter room by room, pack up the extras, and deep clean top to bottom. A home with room to breathe looks larger and newer, and it costs nothing but time.
- Week 2, fix what buyers see. Handle the small repairs that quietly cost you money: sticking doors, drippy faucets, tired caulk, burned-out bulbs, scuffed paint. We will walk through and tell you which items are worth doing and which ones buyers truly do not care about, so you do not overspend.
- Week 3, the outside and the light. Curb appeal is the first photo and the first impression. Tidy the yard, clean the entry, and let as much light in as you can. This is where a little effort returns the most.
- Week 4, stage, shoot, and launch. Set each room to show its purpose, then capture it well and go live. This is where our team does the heavy lifting for you.
What our team handles for you
You do not have to do all of this alone. When you list with us, the presentation is covered. We have an in-house photographer and stager, and staging furniture, all included, because a home that shows well sells for more and that is on us, not you.
We also price to today's market using real, recent comparable sales, not a number picked to win your listing, and we walk you through the entire contract before you ever sign. That is how we work: honest, and in your corner. See how selling with us works.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to do all 30 days before I list?
No. The plan is a guide, not a rule. If your home is already in good shape you may only need a week; if it needs more, the plan keeps you focused on the work that actually affects your sale price. We will tell you honestly what is worth doing for your specific home.
What should I fix, and what can I skip?
Fix the small things buyers notice the moment they walk in: sticking doors, drippy faucets, tired caulk, burned-out bulbs, and scuffed paint. You can usually skip the big cosmetic remodels you will not recoup. We walk through with you and mark exactly what matters so you do not overspend.
Do I have to pay for staging and photos?
Not when you list with us. We include an in-house photographer and stager, and staging furniture, because strong presentation brings more showings and a better price. That part is on us.
How do you decide the list price?
We price to today's market using real, recent comparable sales, and we show you those comps so the number is grounded in the market, not a guess. Pricing right from day one is what sells a home faster and for more.
