Thinking about selling your home this spring? This episode explains why waiting is a mistake—and why the smartest sellers start planning now. Jen and Barrie break down how listing in February or March helps sellers get ahead of the competition and capture early, motivated buyers who begin searching online well before spring.
They walk through the most important prep steps sellers should tackle early, including decluttering, deep cleaning, and strategic pre-packing to maximize space. The conversation also covers the four upgrades that matter most to buyers—paint, flooring, lighting, and overall presentation—and why addressing them early reduces stress, shortens days on market, and strengthens your negotiating position.
The takeaway: early planning creates flexibility, confidence, and better results when it’s time to list.
