Thinking of selling this spring?
Spring is one of the busiest (and best) times to sell in STL & Southern Illinois, but the homes that truly win are the ones that prepare early. If selling is even remotely on your radar, this checklist is your head start.
🏡 Chris & Kait’s Spring Seller Prep Checklist:
1–3 Months Before Listing : Plan it out
- Meet with us to talk pricing, timing, and strategy
- Review what’s selling (and for how much) in your neighborhood
- Prioritize updates that actually pay off
Declutter like you’re moving (because you are 😉)
- Pack away personal photos, keepsakes, and excess décor
- Clear off countertops and open up shelving
- Edit closets—buyers love storage space
4–6 Weeks Before Listing : Small fixes = big impact
- Patch nail holes, touch up paint, fix scuffs
- Repair leaky faucets, loose handles, squeaky doors
- Replace outdated or burnt-out light fixtures
Curb appeal matters more than you think
- Power wash siding, walkways, and driveways
- Clean windows inside and out
- Refresh mulch, trim landscaping, plant seasonal flowers
- Clean out gutters
2–3 Weeks Before Listing : Clean like a buyer is coming (because they are)
- Professional deep clean if possible
- Shampoo carpets and rugs
- Wipe baseboards, vents, and ceiling fans
- Neutralize pet odors
Spring buyers are emotional buyers. A clean, bright, well-maintained home doesn’t just sell faster—it often sells for more.
If selling this spring is on your mind, even casually, we’re happy to help you build a game plan now… no pressure, just good info
