Free Home Seller Tips
Selling your home can be an intimidating process. There is so much to do and it can cost you a fortune! Or does it have to?
We walked into a house where we had to climb over garbage bags filled with clothes and garbage to get to the door, holes in the walls, a stove that hadn't been cleaned in years, a yard full of junk and fallen trees, broken and missing light fixtures, stains in the carpets and floors, toilets that didn't flush, broken mirrors and much more that needn't be mentioned. There was so much to do we could have worked on that house for 6 months! In that state it was definitely headed towards being marketed and sold as a fixer. Translation — far less money for the seller.
We had 3 weeks and a budget that was by no means large. The seller of course wanted as much money as possible upon sale. How did we choose what to fix and what to leave?
In an effort to help you walk the fine line between spending a lot of cash fixing up everything in your house and not spending enough (resulting in your house sitting on the market for weeks or — even worse — getting low ball offers from people who want a "deal"), we've put together a 30 page booklet that covers all the general things you should do to make your house sparkle and generate excitement in the widest number of buyers. You can order yours here and we will mail it to you free of charge.
We also would be happy to stop by and make specific suggestions for your home at no cost or obligation. Just give one of us a call.
Oh, so the end of the story is that we all worked our tails off for 3 stressful weeks, marketed the house successfully and got our seller significantly more than $100,000 over the asking price. We would like the opportunity to make your house a success story too.
