The Pre-Listing Contractor Checklist Every Austin Realtor Should Have

A listing that sits is a listing that loses money. In Austin's competitive market, the homes that move fast are the ones that show well from day one. And the homes that show well have one thing in common: a seller who got ahead of the repairs before the sign went in the yard.

The contractor checklist that protects your commission

Here's what the best Austin listing agents address before every listing goes live:

• Flooring condition — scratched hardwood, lifted tile, or worn carpet are the first things buyers notice and the first things they use to negotiate

• Paint touch-ups — scuffs, nail holes, and faded trim read as deferred maintenance

• Electrical panel and outlets — inspectors flag these immediately; get ahead of it

• Grout and caulk in bathrooms and kitchens — cheap to fix, expensive-looking if left

• HVAC service — a recent tune-up receipt is a selling point
