Getting Your House Ready to Sell? Start with the Garage.

Free Garage Prep Checklist for Minnesota Homeowners

After twenty or thirty years in the same house, knowing where to begin can be the hardest part. The garage is a manageable starting point that usually causes less disruption to everyday life inside.

Finish clearing, cleaning, and any modest improvements first. Then use the garage to sort and pack as you work through the rest of the house.

Make the Space Feel Big, Bright, and Cared For

• Sort belongings and evaluate existing shelving and cabinets.
• Consider temporary storage for seasonal items you’re keeping.
• Improve lighting and decide whether fresh paint is worthwhile.
• Evaluate the floor and keep preparation spending modest.
• Clear temporary overflow before photos and showings.
