Repairs Before The Sale

It goes without saying that you will want to make some repairs to your home before the sale. In fact most home sales include a home inspection clause, and depending on how its written, can allow the buyer to cancel the contract if the inspection report is not satisfactory or if the seller will not make certain repairs. How can you alleviate this headache if you are a seller? The process starts with a tour through your home, interior and exterior. When I take a listing part of my service is to do this with you and suggest necessary repairs for you to do before we get to negotiating with a buyer.
Some items can be as simple as a fresh coat of paint, others are more complex such as that sticky slider going out to the back door! You may have gotten used to it, but your prospective buyer will just look at it as a problem. {A quick fix ... Get a cube of solid paraffin wax and rub along all the tracks of the door, on the bottom and along all sides.}
The home inspection may uncover something that needs repair and after the buyer reviews the report with their agent, the buyer may come back and ask you for a discount ... And many times this reopens the negotiations. Something you want to avoid.
