What repairs or improvements should I make before selling?

Focus on repairs and improvements that offer the best return on investment:

  • Fix any major issues (roof, HVAC, plumbing, etc.)

  • Update dated kitchens and bathrooms if the budget allows

  • Improve curb appeal with landscaping and exterior touch-ups

  • Deep clean and declutter throughout

  • Consider neutral paint colors to appeal to more buyers

Your agent can advise on which improvements are most likely to increase your home's value and appeal in your specific market
