Preparing your property to list is one of the most important parts of this process, considering that these efforts can impact the time it may take for your property to sell and its sales price. Together, we will determine the steps and adjustments to help make the most of your sale, including:
Preparing to Sell
Property staging will help present your property at its best, as well as to capture the emotion of the buyer, who will be making one of the biggest purchases of their lifetime.
Your property is our focus. At Engel & Völkers, we draw on our extensive experience and up-to-date market statistics balanced with your goals and timeline to determine the optimal asking price to list your property. By conducting a market analysis with a local expert as well as understanding potential buyer objections and the key advantages of your property, we will recommend the ideal pricing strategy to sell your property.
The Power of Staging
Establishing a 
Listing Strategy
Develop a Marketing 
Strategy
When visiting your property, the goal is to strengthen a potential buyer’s ability to envision your house as their own. In fact, 81% of buyers say property staging makes it easier to visualize the property as their future home.1 This can be as simple as rearranging furniture and making a few decor adjustments to highlight your property’s best features and prompt potential purchasers to make an offer.

We’ll help you determine the right approach based on your goals, situation and schedule, whether that includes open houses, private showings or a combination of both. Through clear and open communication, we ensure that you, and your property, are prepared throughout the process.
CONTRACT TO CLOSE Once an offer is accepted, your advisor will guide you through the final stages of the selling journey, including managing your transaction with utmost care, closing preparations and after sale services to support you.
CHANGE YOUR ADDRESS Make sure to not only update your address with friends, family and service providers, but also any mailing clubs, subscriptions and utility companies for both ending services and activating them at your new address.
MOVING DAY This is the day when your moving strategy pays off and your focus can be on saying goodbyes and looking forward to what’s next. If possible, leave your appliance manuals and warranty information for the new owner and bring all sets of keys, garage door openers and any similar loose items with your advisor or at the property.
STRATEGIZE A smooth and successful move is only possible with a plan. Select a moving day to work toward. Identify and engage a moving company as soon as possible – Engel & Völkers is happy to make a local recommendation.
Packing Tips
Separate your valuables and important documents, and keep them with you during the move. Prepare a ‘Start-up Kit’ of items and box those up to take with you as well. This way 
if your belongings arrive late, or you are delayed in unpacking, you will have what 
you need immediately on hand. Label boxes by items and room to make unpacking an easier process.
Moving Checklist
FINAL PREPARATIONS If you’ve followed the steps above, you should have just a few remaining tasks like minor patch and paint jobs, emptying the pantry and cleaning, alongside packing up final items.
PACK Purchase your moving supplies including boxes, moving labels, bubble wrap etc. and begin packing items that won’t be needed between now and your move date. These include things like decorations, photos and off season clothing. Then, schedule how and when to pack remaining items based on room or another category that will make the unpacking process easier.
DECLUTTER AND DONATE Before you begin packing up boxes, take inventory of your furniture and other belongings to decide what to keep and what to purge. If items are not worth the effort of packing, moving and unpacking, consider donating, selling or discarding them.
