Preparing Your Property for Sale in Miramichi

Start with the punch list

Buyers and inspectors notice deferred maintenance first. A short handyman visit takes care of the obvious items before listing photos are taken.

• Re-secure loose railings, handles, and cabinet doors
• Patch nail holes and scuffed corners
• Replace burnt-out bulbs (matching colour temperature)
• Caulk tubs, sinks, and exterior trim
• Adjust sticking doors and stubborn locks

Paint pays back

A neutral repaint is the single highest-return prep job. We typically recommend a warm off-white throughout the main living areas with the trim refreshed in a clean white. Listing photos pop, and the rooms feel larger and brighter.

Deep clean before photos

Photos go up on day one and stay up for the life of the listing. A deep clean before the photographer arrives ensures every room shows at its best:

• Inside-of-appliance kitchen clean
• Bathrooms detail-cleaned to landlord-ready standard
• Floors, baseboards, and trim
• Interior windows and glass doors
• Light fixtures, switch plates, and vents

Frequently asked questions

• Can you do all three in one visit?

  Yes. We sequence the punch list, painting, and deep clean so the property is photo-ready by the date your agent needs it.

• Do you stage the home too?

  Staging is best handled by a stager who specializes in the local market. We focus on the repair, paint, and clean — and refer staging when needed.

• How far in advance should I book?

  Two to three weeks for the full prep package. Repairs alone can usually be scheduled within a week.
