Written By Erin Fowler

Preparation is one of the most controllable factors in a successful sale.

Interior Preparation

• Declutter all rooms
• Remove personal items
• Clean thoroughly
• Fix minor issues buyers notice
• Ensure lighting is bright and functional

Exterior Preparation

• Pressure wash
• Fresh mulch
• Trim landscaping
• Clean entryways

Why Preparation Pays Off

Prepared homes:
• Photograph better
• Show better
• Receive stronger offers
• Face fewer inspection issues

In today’s Cabarrus County market, preparation is not about perfection — it’s about confidence and clarity for buyers.
