Prepare to sell with purpose.

SELLER GUIDE

A focused approach to repairs, presentation, photography, pricing, and launch timing before selling your central Indiana home.

Walk through the home with a buyer’s eye.

Start with a room-by-room review of visible condition, lighting, odors, storage, and everyday function. A leaking fixture, a sticking door, or peeling paint may deserve attention before decorative changes. Make a list with Tejish, then separate essential work from optional improvements. Get quotes before deciding what fits your budget and timing.

Prioritize presentation over an automatic remodel.

Clear surfaces, simplify furniture placement, clean thoroughly, and make natural light easy to see. Neutral bedding, tidy landscaping, and clean entryways often improve photographs without a major project. Larger upgrades need a property-specific conversation about cost, competing homes, and your goals. No improvement guarantees a particular return.

Schedule photography after preparation.

Book photography when cleaning and priority work are complete. Remove personal paperwork and items you do not want visible online. Open blinds consistently, replace failed bulbs, and arrange pets and vehicles before the appointment. Ask about the strongest exterior light and which rooms should anchor the marketing.

Connect the launch to your next move.

Review recent comparable sales, competing inventory, home condition, and your preferred timeline with Tejish. Discuss showing access, how offers will be reviewed, expected selling expenses, and the logistics of your next home. Keep improvement records and other property information available so questions can be handled accurately.

Your starting checklist

  • Agree on a preparation budget and priority list.
  • Gather quotes and property improvement records.
  • Declutter, clean, and finish essential work.
  • Schedule photography and showing arrangements.
  • Review pricing, selling expenses, and your next move.
