During this stage, you and your agent will walk through your home, identifying any repairs, improvements, or staging tips that can help maximize its market value. If your pre inspection is complete, your agent can review it with you as well. Current market conditions, pricing strategy, and a marketing plan tailored to your property will also be discussed.

In addition, you'll begin outlining your criteria for your next home—such as budget, location, size, style, and must-have features—so your agent can set up personalized home alerts and guide your search effectively.
