How to Get Your Home Ready to Sell in Philadelphia

What are the most effective steps a homeowner in Philadelphia can take right now to prepare their property for sale?

Focus on smart staging, competitive pricing, and a strategic marketing plan and the team at KG Real Estate is here to help you with all three.

1. Start with honest prep

You’ve lived in your home, you love it but a buyer’s eye sees things differently. Before listing, walk through with fresh perspective:

• Fix small but visible issues (peeling paint, worn-out carpet, loose handles).
• Declutter and depersonalize: pack up family photos and clear countertops.
• Make an entrance that says “move‑in ready” lawn trimmed, porch clear, lights working.

That first glance moment often sets the tone for the buyer’s interest.

2. Price it for the current Philly market

Pricing too high can stall your sale; too low and you leave money on the table. In the Philly market, working with a local expert matters.

KG Real Estate brings market‑specific knowledge so you’re not guessing. Together we’ll review comparables and set a realistic range that draws interest while preserving value.

3. Leverage staging + professional imagery

Marketing your home well is non‑optional. Here’s what that means:

• Professional photos (daylight, wide angles, clean rooms).

• Clean, minimal styling so each room feels spacious.

• Digital and print assets: MLS, social media, property flyers.

By presenting your home at its best, you boost clicks, showings, and ultimately offers.

4. Be flexible and responsive

In a seller’s process:

• Be ready for showings on short notice.

• Respond quickly to feedback and adjust if needed (price, condition, staging).

• Work alongside your agent (e.g., KG Real Estate) to assess offers, counteroffers, and timelines.

Your willingness to adapt often makes the difference between “listed” and “sold.”
