Thinking of listing your home? The South Surrey and White Rock markets are competitive — and first impressions matter. The good news? With the right preparation, you can increase your sale price, reduce time on market, and feel more confident when the offers roll in.
At Collab Realty Group, we guide sellers through a structured 10-step process. Whether you’re selling a beachfront bungalow or a family home in Morgan Creek, this pre-listing checklist will help you get market-ready with no steps missed.
✅ 1. Pre-Listing Home Inspection
Before a buyer finds a flaw, you should know it first. A pre-listing inspection lets you:
Uncover issues before they affect negotiations
Avoid price reductions or conditional offers
Show buyers you’ve done your due diligence
🧰 2. Handle Repairs & Minor Updates
Focus on high-impact, low-cost fixes:
Patch drywall holes or cracks
Re-caulk bathrooms & kitchens
Replace burnt-out bulbs, leaky faucets, or squeaky doors
Refresh paint where needed (neutral tones sell best!)
Need help? We can connect you with trusted local trades to get it done efficiently.
🧼 3. Deep Clean & Declutter
This step is non-negotiable.
Clean every surface (baseboards, windows, appliances)
Clear counters, closets, and storage spaces
Rent a storage unit if needed — the goal is to make your home feel spacious and fresh
🛋️ 4. Stage Your Home (Even Lightly)
Professional staging helps buyers emotionally connect. At minimum:
Reposition furniture to open up space
Add soft textures (pillows, throws, area rugs)
Use lighting to highlight key features
Remove overly personal items (family photos, unique art)
We offer complimentary staging consultations with every listing.
📸 5. Hire a Realtor with a Proven Marketing Strategy
Your agent should:
Use professional photography & videography
Offer floorplans, social media reels, and paid ad exposure
Price the home strategically based on data (not just a guess)
At Collab Realty Group, we build a full digital + in-person marketing campaign for each home.
🗂️ 6. Gather Your Documents
Before you list, prepare:
Title, strata docs (if applicable), and past permits
Utility bills, floor plans, or survey certificates
Warranty info for roof, appliances, or major systems
We’ll help organize this into your seller disclosure package.
