In order to find problems for you to address, we usually have a pre-inspection done. A professional will walk through your home and create a list of things for you to focus on so you don’t waste your time fixing things that don’t need to be fixed.</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 20.24px;"><b>Staging:</b> This is the act of putting your house in the very best position to sell. This often involves bringing in new furniture or rearranging your current furniture and bringing in decor, among other things. It’s a matter of making your home as appealing to as wide an audience as possible. </span></li> <li><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 20.24px;"><b>Remodeling and updating:</b> These kinds of projects should only be done on a case-by-case basis. There are a lot of things homeowners pour a ton of money into that don’t yield any selling benefits. A good agent will provide guidance on what projects you should tackle and which ones you should avoid.</span></li> </span></span></ul> <span style="font-family: &quot;arial&quot;;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 20.24px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: &quot;arial&quot;; font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 20.24px; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you have any questions about these three things you should focus on when selling, or if you need real estate assistance of any kind, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
