Good morning John. The savvy buyer should move number one to number eleven so the potential isn't agents get a good first impression. Enjoy your day.

John, great share — this is such a practical and helpful checklist for anyone preparing to sell! Each tip makes a big difference in creating that all-important first impression for buyers. I especially like how you highlighted the basics that often get overlooked, like smell tests and small repairs. A clean, neutral, and well-presented home truly helps buyers picture themselves moving right in!
