NAR’s Consumer Guide to Preparing to Sell Your Home is a helpful resource for homeowners who are thinking about listing and want to understand the steps involved before going to market.
The guide walks through key considerations sellers should think about early on, including choosing an agent, setting the right price, and deciding whether to make repairs or improvements. It also touches on staging, marketing, and what can help a home stand out to potential buyers. The focus is on preparation: helping sellers feel ready before their home is officially listed.
For REALTORS®, this guide is a strong way to start the listing conversation. It helps frame expectations, organize next steps, and gives sellers a clearer picture of what goes into a successful sale.
