If you’re thinking about selling your home in Brighton, Howell, Hartland, Pinckney, Hamburg, or anywhere in Livingston County, you might be wondering:
“What actually happens at a listing appointment?”
“What should I do before a Realtor comes over?”
“How do I make sure I get top dollar?”
Great questions — because the truth is, the way your home is prepared before it hits the market has a massive impact on how fast it sells and how much you walk away with.
Here’s exactly what to expect when Pat Lotz Real Estate Group comes out for a listing appointment — and how to get your home ready like a pro.
Step 1: The Walkthrough (Not a Critique — A Strategy Session)
When Pat walks through your home, he’s not judging. He’s looking at your home through a buyer’s eyes and building a strategy.
He’s evaluating:
This is where you’ll hear things like:
“This room is amazing — we just need to move these three things.”
“Buyers are going to love this backyard.”
“A $200 change here could mean $5,000 more in your pocket.”
This is not a “you should remodel” conversation. It’s a “here’s how we maximize what you already have” conversation.
Step 2: Pricing Strategy Based on What’s Actually Selling
Pat doesn’t price based on hope, Zillow, or what your neighbor wants for their house.
He shows you:
Pricing is not about picking a number. It’s about creating leverage.
Step 3: The Pre-Listing Prep Plan (This Is the Gold)
This is where most Realtors stop. This is where Pat’s team goes all in.
You’ll receive a very specific plan for:
What to remove
What to add
What to fix (if anything)
Most of this costs little to nothing — but dramatically changes how buyers feel walking through your home.
Step 4: What You Should Do BEFORE the Appointment
You don’t need to deep clean. You don’t need to panic.
Just do this:
That’s it.
Pat will tell you exactly what to do next.
Step 5: Professional Marketing Plan
Once you’re ready, the team handles:
Because today, your first showing is online.

…is almost always preparation and strategy before it hits the market.
That’s what this appointment is all about.
