Leave any field empty to keep the [BRACKET] in the copied prompt. Your name, brokerage, city, phone and email are remembered in this browser.

Your prompt

Create a one-page "Get Your Home Ready to List" checklist I'll send a seller 7-14 days before we go live. From: [YOUR NAME], [YOUR BROKERAGE], [YOUR PHONE].

Home details: [HOME TYPE, AGE, OCCUPIED OR VACANT, KNOWN ISSUES, LISTING DATE]

Sections:
- Curb appeal
- Decluttering, room by room
- Small repairs worth doing vs. ones to leave (flag anything that needs an inspector or contractor)
- DIY staging basics
- Photo-day prep (what to clear, what to add)
- Showing prep (lockbox, pets, and securing valuables, medications, firearms, and personal papers)
- Documents to gather (HOA docs, warranties, permits, utility bills, disclosure info)

Mark items that vary by state, HOA, or municipality so I can confirm them. Scannable checkboxes, plain language, no jargon.

AI output is a draft. Read every word before a client does.

When to use it

One to two weeks before a listing goes live, when the seller needs a clear to-do list.

Tip for a better answer

Add your walkthrough notes on this house ("dated light fixtures, packed garage") so it prioritizes the seller's actual problems instead of generic advice.
