Don’t Wait for the Holidays to Hit, Here’s How to Prep Now and Win Later
Let’s talk timing.
If you’re planning to sell your home soon, whether it’s before the holidays or right after the new year, the best time to start isn’t later.
It’s right now.
Most sellers wait too long to prep, and then scramble as buyers start showing up. But in my From Chaos to Calm™ method, Step 2 is all about The Plan, the one that removes last-minute stress and helps you make strategic moves with confidence.
Why Now Works for Pre-Holiday Buyers

Believe it or not, serious buyers are still active right up to December. Why?
Job relocations
Closing before the year-end for tax reasons
Tight personal timelines
If you start prepping now, your home can hit the market just in time to catch their attention, while competition is low and urgency is high.
Planning Early = Better January Launch

Not ready to list until the new year? Perfect. That gives us time to:
Create a full prep checklist (repairs, cleaning, decluttering)
Coordinate any staging help or light upgrades
Take listing photos while your home still looks cozy and festive
Map out timelines for launch, showings, and ideal closing dates
By January, your home will already be market-ready, while others are just getting started.
From Pressure to Process

When sellers wait too long, they rush. And rushed listings rarely shine.
Step 2 of From Chaos to Calm™ is about doing the right prep at the right pace so your home doesn’t just get listed, it gets results.
You’ll know what to do, when to do it, and how to do it efficiently, with my support every step of the way.
So whether you’re aiming for a holiday-season buyer or a fresh January launch, this is your moment to get ahead.
