Pre-Listing Checklist: Your 14-Day Launch Plan in Hudson Count

Speed + precision = stronger net. This 14-day pre-listing plan compresses days-on-market, improves showing quality, and sets you up for a confident launch.

Days 1–3: Prep & pricing

• Block-level comps (last 30–60 days closed), highlight renovation level and outdoor space.

• Pre-inspection + punch-list (minor fixes, safety items, permit docs ready).

• Declutter + light staging plan; confirm pet/child schedule for showings.

Days 4–8: Media & materials

• Photography, floor plan, feature sheet; draft remarks with micro-location anchors (PATH, parks, schools).

• HOA/condo docs ready (budget, minutes, reserves, rules) to speed offers.

• Showing strategy: first weekend open house + private show blocks.

Days 9–14: Launch & feedback

• List mid-week; front-load access for algorithm boosts and early buzz.

• Track inquiries, second-show requests, and feedback themes in one sheet.

• Adjust quickly by day 14 if signals are weak (price/presentation/access).

 Should I list before or after a holiday?

 Depends on your pocket and competition—often just before or just after a holiday creates focused interest.

 Do pre-inspection and staging pay off?

 Yes—turn-key listings draw stronger terms and reduce renegotiations.

 What if I get little traffic in week one?

 Act by day 14—price, access, or presentation. Momentum is precious.
