Preparing your home for a private viewing is essential. These are the things you should focus on...
Clean up
First impression is everything! Clean up your home and make it spotless.
Organize everything, including closets
Don’t forget to check inside your closets and other hidden places. They will want to see everything.
Make Your home cozy and inviting
Add artwork, plants, dried flowers, candles and other things that will make the property feel homey.
Pets
Ask a friend to take care of your pet during the viewing.

If you're thinking of selling your home in Ridgewood or anywhere in Queens, the first question that pops into your head is: “How much can I actually get for this place?” And look, I get it — it’s your home.

What matters now is data, timing, and strategy. Let’s break it down in plain English. 📈 Step 1: Start With a Free Home Valuation Before you call a broker or put up that “For Sale” sign, you can check out online valuation tools like mine Free Home Valuation . It uses recent sales, your home’s history, market conditions — all the nerdy data stuff — to spit out a number. 💡 Heads up: It’s a good starting point, but not the final word. These tools don’t know if your kitchen looks like a Pinterest dream or like it hasn’t been touched since 1982. That’s where we humans come in.
