Before putting up the “For Sale” sign on your house, there are key steps you shouldn’t skip. Properly preparing your property can help you sell faster and at a better price.
In this blog by Coldwell Banker México Real Estate, we provide you with a clear checklist of everything you should do before selling your home in Mexico City.
1. Gather all necessary documents
Having everything in order from the beginning avoids delays. Make sure you have:
- Property deed registered with the Public Registry of Property
- Valid official ID
- CURP and RFC
- Paid property tax and water bills
- Certificate of no liens
2. Know your home’s real value
Get a professional appraisal or request a market analysis with a local agent. In neighborhoods like Narvarte or Portales, a poorly calculated price can cause your property to sit on the market for months.

3. Make strategic improvements
You don’t need to renovate the entire house. Focus on these points:
- Paint walls and doors
- Fix leaks or cracks
- Improve lighting
- Organize and declutter spaces
4. Hire professional photography
Homes with quality photos sell faster. Avoid dark or poorly framed images. At Coldwell Banker México Real Estate, we have a specialized team to showcase your property in the best light.
5. Choose an agent with experience in your area
A real estate agent who knows your neighborhood understands what type of buyers are looking there and how to negotiate the best deal. Not all agents have experience in areas like Del Valle or San Pedro de los Pinos.
