Seller’s Ultimate Checklist: 3081 Property Prep & Campaign Success

From declutter to contracts, marketing to move-out—George Bottas provides the complete, practical to-do list for sellers in Bellfield, Heidelberg Heights, and Heidelberg West.

1. Deep Clean and Declutter

  • Create a blank slate before open homes and photography. Store personal items and go neutral where possible.

2. Repairs and Presentation

  • Address outstanding fixes: doors, fittings, paintwork, garden, driveway. Professional touch-ups can boost appeal affordably.

3. Professional Photography & Styling

  • Book local experts for images that sell lifestyle as well as space. George provides tips and trusted contacts.

4. Documentation on Standby

  • Title, permits, insurance, rates, contract draft. Early organisation averts late delays.

5. Smart Marketing

  • George reviews each portal, print, and digital option—tailoring spend to your target buyer and market urgency.

6. Open Communication

  • Weekly—and as needed—updates on enquiries, feedback, offers, and campaign tweaks.

7. Pre-Settlement Checklist

  • Book removal, arrange final clean, meter readings, change utilities, redirect mail, and hand over keys smoothly.

Bonus: Bottas’ “Stress Less” Tips

  • Work with a local who knows your pocket.
  • Ask questions early and often.
  • Remember: the right process = better price and a smoother move.
