Preparing Your House to Sell: What Matters Most
A clean, well-prepared house photographs better, attracts more buyers, and produces stronger offers — especially in CT where buyers expect move-in-ready homes.

- How buyers search in price brackets
- The danger of chasing the market downward
- How appraisals impact your final number
- Our CT-specific pricing method based on demand curves + competitor analysis
