Seller Preparation Checklist
A seller-focused checklist for repairs, cleaning, and readiness before listing.
This resource is designed for serious property decisions: repair planning, maintenance review, owner communication, turnover preparation, inspection follow-up, and investment due diligence.
How to Use This Resource
- Walk the property slowly and document each issue with photos where helpful.
- Separate safety, water intrusion, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, structural, and access issues from cosmetic improvements.
- Assign each item a priority: urgent, pre-occupancy, 30-day, 90-day, annual, or future improvement.
- Use the notes area to capture vendor questions, owner decisions, budget assumptions, and follow-up actions.
- For unclear conditions, request review from the appropriate licensed professional or qualified trade partner.
Checklist Items
- Complete visible repairs and paint touch-ups.
- Clean major areas, pressure wash exterior surfaces, and improve first impressions.
- Check lighting, fixtures, plumbing, doors, and safety devices.
- Prepare documentation for recent repairs or maintenance.
