Your move in 2026 will feel 10x easier with the right checklist, not the right luck. ✅
Here’s a quick Buy & Sell Game Plan you can actually use:
For buyers:
• Get pre-approved before you fall in love with a home.
• List your non‑negotiables vs. nice‑to‑haves.
• Walk each home twice: once for emotion, once for logic.
For sellers:
• Declutter 30–40% of visible items for a model-home feel.
• Fix small issues buyers notice first: lights, paint, hardware.
• Plan your next move early so you’re not rushing after closing.
Save this post as your starting checklist and add your own notes as you go. 📝
