The Ultimate Pre-Listing Checklist for Sellers in Pearland, TX
Thinking About Selling Your Pearland Home?
Here’s What to Do *Before* You List.
If you're planning to sell your home in Pearland, TX—whether in the heart of town or in neighborhoods like Silverlake, Southdown, or Green Tee—getting your house “show ready” can make a major difference in both your timeline and sales price.
After 20+ years of helping sellers in this market, here’s my ultimate Pre-Listing Checklist to help your home stand out and sell quickly.
1. Know Your Numbers
- Get a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis): Find out what homes like yours are selling for right now.
- Understand Your Payoff & Net Proceeds: Talk with your lender and your agent to estimate how much you’ll walk away with.
- Evaluate Timing: Consider seasonal trends, your next home plans, and current interest rates.
2. Deep Clean & Declutter
- Remove excess furniture and personal items.
- Clean carpets, windows, baseboards, and light fixtures.
- Organize closets, cabinets, and garages (buyers look everywhere!).
3. Handle Minor Repairs
- Fix leaky faucets, squeaky doors, and cracked tiles.
- Patch holes in walls and touch up paint (neutral colors work best).
- Make sure all lightbulbs and smoke detectors are working.
4. Boost Curb Appeal
- Fresh mulch, trimmed shrubs, and a power-washed driveway go a long way.
- A new welcome mat and clean front door make a strong first impression.
- Keep the lawn maintained while listed.
5. Stage for Success
- Rearrange furniture to open up space and show function.
- Use light-colored bedding, throw pillows, and clean linens.
- Remove personal photos and religious/political decor.
- Pro Tip: I offer a free staging consultation to every listing client.
6. Plan for Professional Photography
- Schedule photos for when the house is clean and sun is shining.
- Open blinds, turn on all lights, and make the home feel bright.
- Hide cords, trash cans, pet bowls, and countertop clutter.
7. Get Your Documents Ready
- Utility bills, HOA info, survey, and warranty paperwork.
- Recent updates or improvements list.
- Any permits for renovations or additions.
8. Call a Local Expert (That’s Me!)
- The best time to bring in a local real estate expert is before you start spending money on fixes. I’ll walk you through what buyers expect—and what you don’t need to stress about.
