Your to-do list, most important first
  1. 1Call your lender for a payoff statement so you know your real net.
  2. 2If you need this sale to buy the next home, ask a lender about a bridge loan or a sale contingency.
  3. 3Decide where you're going next and whether you'll need a rent-back or short-term rental.
  4. 4Pack away personal items, extra furniture and anything on counters.
  5. 5Handle the smaller items: paint.
  6. 6Make a touch-up list: caulk, patch, change bulbs, fix sticky doors.
  7. 7Boost curb appeal: mow, edge, fresh mulch, clean the entry, new house numbers or a doormat.
  8. 8Deep clean before photos, including windows and carpets.

Your name, photo and phone number go on it.
