“What should I fix before I sell my home?”
***ANSWER:
Great question.
My advice is to fix the obvious, disclose the rest, and expect to fix or credit funds for a few items as part of negotiations.
FIX
Expanding on that, if you’ve go the time and desire, fix the visible things that will help your home sell. Fix cracked windows, peeling paint, hanging electrical wires, dry-rotted wood, ugly landscape, etc. And give the house a good cleaning too.
DISCLOSE
You’re legally required to disclose EVERYTHING that could “materially affect the value or desirability of the home”. If you have to debate it, disclose it.
NEGOTIATE
Expect to make some repairs or credit the buyer funds after the buyer has his physical inspection and asks you to fix a few items.
