37% of contracts fall through because of repair issues
#thursdaytips #realestateedition according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR) 37% of contracts fall through because of repair issues sellers could have addressed before listing their property.
If you’re thinking of selling this spring, don’t let that happen to you! Here's how:
Meet with an agent who knows your neighborhood and zip code. Allowing them to do a quick walkthrough could save you piles of cash.
If recommended, schedule a pre-sale inspection. Then you'll know precisely what needs to be addressed from a functional standpoint.
Invest in repairing major systems first. Think HVAC, plumbing, roofing, foundation, or electrical issues.
Once your home’s major systems check out, move to aesthetics. Here’s where your agent’s advice is literally gold! When in doubt, always remember, if there’s one room that needs to impress buyers, it’s (still!) the kitchen.
If there’s time, money, and a little elbow grease left, paint what you can and zero in on curb appeal.
