Bousquet Realty

Before we determine your home’s value, it helps to see it at its best — not perfect, just well cared for and thoughtfully presented.

Preparing your home for a market valuation isn’t about staging for photos yet. It’s about giving us an accurate picture of condition, updates, and overall presentation so we can provide the most precise pricing strategy possible.

Here’s where to start:

Those small jobs you’ve been meaning to get to? Now is the time.

• Tighten loose handles and hardware

• Fix dripping taps

• Patch small drywall holes

• Replace burnt-out light bulbs

• Touch up scuffed paint

• Secure loose railings

• Repair minor trim damage

Small details signal maintenance. Buyers and appraisers notice.

For valuation purposes, we simply want to see space clearly.

• Clear excess items from counter tops

• Remove clutter from entryways

• Organize storage areas

• Ensure rooms are easy to walk through

You don’t need to strip your home of personality just allow the layout and condition to be visible.

Help us understand your home fully by having:

• Dates of major upgrades (roof, windows, furnace, septic, well, etc.)

• Utility costs (hydro, propane, oil)

• Property tax information

• Survey and well/septic records (if available)

This allows us to position your home accurately in the current market.

Walk through your home as if seeing it for the first time.

• What feels bright and welcoming?

• What feels tired or overlooked?

• What small improvement would create the biggest impact?

We’ll help you decide what’s worth addressing and what isn’t.

Even for valuation, curb appeal counts.

• Clear pathways

• Tidy landscaping

• Remove seasonal clutter

• Ensure house numbers are visible

On Manitoulin, outdoor space is often just as important as indoor space.

You do not need to renovate before calling us.
You do not need to invest in major upgrades.
You do not need to have everything finished.

Our role is to help you determine:

• What adds value

• What maintains value

• What isn’t worth spending money on

Once your home is in order, we’ll provide a clear market valuation and a strategy tailored to your goals and timeline.

Thoughtful preparation leads to stronger results and a more confident sale.
