Take an objective look at your house to determine what updates and repairs are necessary. Based on your timeline and budget you will be able to determine what needs to be completed to improve the overall presentation of your home.
Here are some common repairs to consider before listing your home for sale.
Curled up or missing roof shingles - Buyers tend to shy away from roofs that need repairing. Not only that it makes the house appear unkept but there is always the possibility of water damage. Even if they agree to buy your home, the last thing you want is a water leak just before the closing.
Loose hand rails - Bypassing this safety issue may result in a lost offer. Fixing wobbly rails ensures safety and satisfies a sharp-eyed buyer.
HVAC units - HVAC units are expensive to replace and Buyers want to make sure that they don't end up stuck in the cold. Have the unit cleaned and serviced by a certified technician.
Light bulbs - To avoid the impression that there may be a major electrical issue with your home, simply change your burned-out light bulbs.
Dirty spaces – Even if repairing or replacing is too costly, make sure you clean walls, floors, carpets, bathtubs, showers, kitchens, and driveways to make your home look clean and ready to sell. Dirty house is a huge turn off.
