You don't need to totally recondition your home in order to sell, but a few preparations WILL yield a faster sale and higher price by appealing to the broadest possible market. Here are a few tips to gain the greatest results for the lowest investment.
The best place to begin is with the REALTOR who will list your home for sale. Your REALTOR will know the kinds of homes on the market, current homebuyer preferences and objections, and the changes that will yield the greatest value. They can also recommend reliable trades people to perform the work.
Paint, clean and clear.These three actions are among the least expensive changes that contribute to the fresh appeal of a home. Outdated kitchen or bath? Paint, hardware and modern lighting can take attention from dated cabinets and flooring. Inexpensive window treatments can vastly improve rooms. If your furnishings and collectibles crowd the look of your home, storing select items to create spaciousness will help buyers appreciate your home and envision it as their own.
You owe it to yourself to create the most favorable conditions for selling your home and realizing the maximum gain on your investment.
"Ask if your agent is a REALTOR, a member of the National Association of REALTORS."
