# How Do I Run a Pre-Sale Checklist for Property Owners?

You run it by giving each new listing a standard preparation checklist covering documents, repairs, photos, pricing, and authorizations, with tasks assigned to the owner or the agency. On **Jestor**, this runs through a checklist **template**, **Tasks**, and a property record.

A property that goes on the market before it is ready tends to sit longer. Missing documents, visible defects, or poor photos lower interest and weaken the agency's position in price discussions.

## What listings that are not ready cost

- Longer time on the market
- Price reductions that could have been avoided
- Documents missing when a serious buyer appears
- Repeated visits to fix what should have been prepared

## How a pre-sale checklist works

- A **template** lists all preparation steps for a new listing
- Tasks are assigned to the owner, the agent, or a vendor
- Photos and documents are attached as they are completed
- The listing is only published when the checklist is complete

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Every listing starts with the same standard of preparation
- Owners understand what they need to do
- The agency avoids surprises during negotiations
- This scales from a few listings to a busy portfolio

| Listings published unprepared | Pre-sale checklist before launch  |
| ----------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Slow sales, price cuts        | Ready, documented, well presented |
