If one of your goals for 2026 is to sell your home, there’s one simple truth that can make a world of difference: the best sales start with early prep.
Think of it like training for a marathon — starting now means less stress later and better results when the spring market heats up.
Why start now?
Inventory in Atlanta has jumped nearly 28% year-over-year — the highest in six years — which means buyers have more choices than ever. Starting your prep early ensures your home stands out when it hits the market.
What to focus on:

A fresh coat of paint or bold front door color
Fixing small roof or exterior issues
Refreshing your kitchen with new hardware or lighting
Decluttering and deep cleaning
 

Watch it here:

Small steps add up to a big impact and I can help you focus only on what truly matters to Atlanta buyers.
