The pre-list checklist that keeps surprises from derailing you
You are deciding what to fix, what to disclose, and what to leave alone before you list. Not reported.
Some metrics were not reported for this period. Since the provided file did not include the key Lake Bonavista, AB numbers that would normally guide timing and pricing, I will keep this focused on avoiding preventable problems.
First, control the narrative with documents. Gather permits, invoices for major work, utility costs if you have them, and any condo documents if applicable, then decide what you will provide up front so buyers do not assume the worst.
Second, prep for inspection-style scrutiny. Fix small functional issues sticky doors, leaks, missing covers, broken fixtures because those create the impression of deferred maintenance and can invite bigger negotiation later.
Third, plan your showing logistics like a business decision. Set showing windows, pet plan, and a clean exit strategy for personal items so your home presents consistently and you do not burn out mid-listing.
