How to get top dollar for your home, fast

Your home is likely your largest asset, so selling it may be the biggest financial move you make. Once on the market, things move quickly: a property has the best chance to sell within its first seven weeks, and the longer it sits, the less it ultimately sells for. So get ahead of the game and bring your home to top selling shape before it lists.

Four weeks before listing

• Meet Nadia for the evaluation and a room-by-room walk-through. She will tell you which improvements return their cost and which do not.
• Declutter hard. Rent storage if you need to. Buyers pay for space, and closets and garages count.
• Fix the small things: dripping taps, sticking doors, chipped paint, burnt-out bulbs. A list of little defects reads as neglect.
• Order the strata documents early if you are in a condo or townhome, so buyers can review them during the first weekend.

Two weeks before

• Deep clean, including windows, grout and appliances.
• Neutralise: fresh paint in a light colour, personal photos down, strong scents gone.
• Curb appeal: pressure-wash, trim, mulch, a clean front door and working exterior lights.
• Staging, full or partial. Nadia arranges it where it will pay for itself.

Listing week

• Professional photography, floor plans and video are scheduled once the home is ready, not before.
• Price on the evidence. See the guide on pricing; this is the single largest lever.
• Launch with a plan: MLS®, online campaigns, Nadia's buyer database and agent network, and open houses timed for the first weekend.

During showings

• Be out of the house. Buyers talk more freely.
• Lights on, blinds open, temperature comfortable.
• Keep it show-ready daily. The best buyer may arrive with an hour's notice.

The result

Sellers who do this work consistently sell faster and for more. Nadia's clients have described homes selling in days and above asking; the reviews on this site say it in their own words. Ask her for a listing plan for your home.
