Luxe Seller’s Guide: Preparing to Sell Your Home with Confidence
Deciding to sell your home is a major milestone — and at Luxe International Homes & Properties, we make sure you’re prepared for every step. Whether you’re upgrading, relocating, or making a legacy move, we help you list your home with confidence, care, and clarity.
Here’s what you need to know as you get ready to put your home on the market:
🔍 How Do I Find the Right Agent to Sell My Home?
You deserve a partner who listens, leads with integrity, and puts your best interest first.
When you work with Lauren Catchings, a licensed REALTOR® and purpose-driven real estate expert, you get more than a listing agent — you get an advocate. Backed by the REALTOR® Code of Ethics, Lauren is committed to protecting and promoting your goals throughout the entire transaction.
Tip: Always ask questions and make sure your agent is aligned with your values and vision. At Luxe, we welcome your questions — and your peace of mind is our priority.
🛠️ Should I Get a Pre-Sale Home Inspection?
While not required, a pre-sale inspection can be a smart move. It helps identify potential issues — big or small — that may affect your listing price or delay closing. It’s a proactive step that allows you to fix items in advance or adjust your price accordingly.
Inspectors typically check:
Roofing & foundation
Plumbing & electrical
HVAC systems
Ventilation & insulation
Interior/exterior condition
Mold, radon, or asbestos (if applicable)
At Luxe, we’ll talk through what a pre-sale inspection might uncover and how to disclose it properly if needed.
🔧 What If Something Needs to Be Repaired?
If your HVAC is failing or your roof needs repair, don’t panic. You don’t always have to fix it before selling — but you should get quotes and understand how it could impact negotiations. Lauren will help you decide what’s worth fixing now vs. disclosing later.
Remember: transparency builds trust, and trust builds better deals.
🧼 Do I Have to Update or Remodel Before Selling?
No major renovations required — but presentation matters.
Simple things like:
Deep cleaning
Decluttering
Washing windows
Freshening up paint
Landscaping for curb appeal
These small efforts can make a big difference — especially in photos. Luxe offers staging support and photography guidance to ensure your home shines online and in-person.
📦 What Should I Do with Appliance Info?
Gather up warranties, manuals, and service records for any appliances or systems that stay with the home (washer, dryer, HVAC, dishwasher, etc.). This helps streamline the process for your buyer and prevents last-minute hiccups before closing.
✨ What Is Staging and Should I Do It?
Staging is the art of helping buyers visualize your space as their future home.
While it’s not required, it can be powerful — especially in key areas like:
Living room
Primary bedroom
Kitchen
At Luxe, we can provide recommendations or connect you with staging professionals if needed. Sometimes, even light staging (like rearranging furniture or adding accent decor) can help make a great first impression.
💛 Luxe Means Legacy
Selling your home is more than a transaction — it’s a transition. At Luxe International Homes & Properties, we approach your sale with intention, strategy, and a deep respect for the journey ahead.
Whether you're preparing to sell your family’s first home or listing an investment property, Lauren Catchings ensures the process is stress-free, transparent, and profitable — with a strong foundation of education and faith.
