How should I prepare my home before listing it?

Declutter first — pack away personal items so rooms feel larger. Deep clean everything, boost curb appeal with fresh mulch and trimmed hedges, and fix the small stuff buyers notice: dripping faucets, scuffed paint, tired caulking. A fresh coat of neutral paint is the highest-return upgrade. Before you lift a finger, get a professional opinion. Stone Real Estate Group walks every seller through a room-by-room prep plan.
