Inspect and Make Repairs

Having an educated, experienced realtor come and assess your home for major or hidden issues that they know are likely to be pitfalls for selling. You can also pay for a home inspection in advance but our trained realtor have an deep understanding of home inspections and construction. This will give you a leg up in the negotiation process. With a thorough inspection report in hand, you can make any deal-breaking improvements before listing, and you’ll be able to identify repairs that might necessitate a price reduction.

MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS

  • Tackle any major repairs found in your inspection — like a roof, furnace, or water heater — or expect to come down in price later in the process.

  • Fix cosmetic items that might keep your home from making a good first impression. Common — and relatively affordable — fixes include painting, repairing window screens, and updating fixtures.

Since your home will be competing with other homes, making the updates that today’s buyers are looking for can really make your home stand out. Small updates can increase the value and lead to profitable bidding wars for sellers.

While there are some trends that may be more or less popular based on where you live — our agents can walk you thru those — here are a few home features that the majority of recent buyers surveyed by Zillow said were extremely or very important:

  • Air conditioning (76 percent)

  • Private outdoor space (70 percent)

  • En suite master bathroom (62 percent)

  • Their preferred style of kitchen (56 percent)

  • Energy efficient features (56 percent)

  • Smart home capabilities (27 percent)
