15 Things to Consider Before Listing Your Home

Selling a home can be a challenging journey, with many factors to consider before going to market. Working with an experienced local agent is crucial in the stage to ensure that you, and your home, are properly prepared for the process, and to ensure the maximum return on your Lake Tahoe real estate investment.

Suggestions for Perfection

Home Evaluation

With a signed Listing Agreement the selling process can begin. First and foremost, the Compass team will evaluate the property and make recommendations on how to best display the home for sale. First impressions are everything and each home needs to be "dressed to impress."

• Walk through with Compass agents & team

• Recommendations for improvements

• Scheduling repairs: handyman vs. contractor

• Staging recommendations

• Upfront inspections
