Spring is prime selling season in Sherman Oaks. But the best results come from work you do well before your first showing. Here is a simple 90-day plan that keeps prep easy and effective.

Your 90-Day Countdown

Day 90–60: Plan and repair.

• Walk the property. Note paint, lighting, hardware, and yard needs.
• Handle small fixes first. See the home inspection checklist.
• Order a deep clean and windows. Book landscaper for two visits.
• Meet a local listing agent to align timing and budget.

Day 60–30: Style and stage.

• Neutral paint touch-ups. Replace dated fixtures and bulbs.
• Edit furniture. Create light, flow, and clear sightlines.
• Refresh curb appeal. Add mulch, seasonal plants, and a crisp doormat.
• Schedule photos and video. Prep a short lifestyle reel.

Day 30–7: Final polish and pricing.

• Final punch list: caulk, door hinges, cabinet pulls, and grout.
• Set list price using real comps. Review pricing strategies.
• Write compelling copy. Highlight upgrades, light, yard, and location.
• Confirm launch day and open house plan.

Why Start Early?

Early prep gives you options. You can choose the best launch week and avoid rush fees. Also, you can price with confidence because your home will show like a model. That combo draws more showings and better offers.

High-ROI Quick Wins

• Paint + lighting: Bright, neutral spaces feel newer.
• Landscape refresh: Fresh mulch, trimmed hedges, clean edges.
• Hardware swaps: Knobs, pulls, faucets, and door levers.
• Editorial photos: Golden-hour exteriors and airy interiors.

Price + Timing = Leverage

Spring demand is strong, but success still depends on smart pricing. Start with a data-driven range and a clear launch target. For context, review the best time to sell in Sherman Oaks. Then combine timing with clean presentation and a confident price.
