A little preparation now will reap big rewards when selling a home. Put in that elbow grease now and you’ll be rewarded with a fast, stress-free sale at the best price! As a buyer and seller of many properties over the years, I recommend having an eye on resale value regarding any home projects. Put in the new carpet now, make the upgrades, and enjoy it for a while before you sell.
If you find yourself in a spot where the upgrades needed may not be cost-effective, consider offering a home warranty for the buyer. The buyer may overlook the outdated appliances that are covered by the home warranty. This is especially true for the bigger systems of the home like the HVAC or the water heater. Make sure everything is in working order to qualify for the home warranty.
