The Homes & Hearth Blueprint

A Seller’s Guide to Timing, Preparation, Pricing, and Closing for Top Dollar

By: Lori Collins, Jeffrey D Collins

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Most sellers leave money on the table.

Not because their homes aren’t worth more — but because they didn’t know what to fix, when to list, or how to price. They prepared too late, guessed at staging, and accepted the first offer without understanding what the numbers actually meant.

The Heart & Home Blueprint changes that.

Written by Lori Collins, Associate Broker and team lead of the Collins Team at eXp Realty, this guide covers every stage of the selling process with data and examples specific to Southern Utah County. You’ll learn:

• When to list — and why the specific week you choose can mean a 6.7% price premium
• What to fix and what to skip — with clear ROI guidance for this market
• How buyers search online — and why a $2,100 pricing mistake can cost you a full bracket of buyers
• What to expect from the inspection, the appraisal, and the negotiation table
• How to read a net sheet — so you know exactly what you’re walking away with before you sign

This isn’t a motivational book. It’s a practical one. Clear, specific, and built for the communities of Springville, Mapleton, Salem, Spanish Fork, Payson, and Santaquin.

If you’re selling in Southern Utah County in 2026, this is the guide you needed before you called your agent.
