Question: Do You Know the Top 6 Home Repair Tips for Smart Selling?

If you’re thinking about SELLING Your HOME, you’re going to want to take note!  Before you dive into repairs, remember not every fix is a good investment. Selling smart means prioritizing safety, broad appeal, and practical fixes. Check out my list of the ultimate do’s and don’ts on pre-sale home prep: Here’s your guide to smart selling:

1. Don’t sweat the small stuff! Minor blemishes like cracks or scuffs? Buyers might not even blink an eye. Focus on simple, cost-effective touch-ups for that instant appeal boost. 

2. Smart upgrades matter! Swap out that bold wall color for something more neutral,or give those spaces a quick refresh. A clean, updated look can make all the difference. Neutral wall colors appeal to a wide range of tastes and buyers. I frequently hear buyers tell me they can’t envision themselves in the home with bold/taste specific colors.

3. Forget the driveway drama; enhance your curb appeal with some paint, plants, or pretty petals instead. It’s the charm that counts, not the concrete. 

4. Big reno? Big no! You might think renovating before you sell is a great idea, but you likely won’t get the return on investment you think you will. Remember here, it’s all about those strategic, budget-friendly changes. Opt for partial updates like a fresh coat on cabinets or new light fixtures. 

5. Minor electrical issues? Let them be. Focus on fixing any major electrical concerns to clear inspection hurdles with ease. 

6. Appliance overhaul? Think functionality over flashy. Replace what’s broken and keep the rest. Functionality = peace of mind for buyers.
