Sometimes my best advice to sellers is what not to touch. 🛠️
Before you tear out a kitchen or rip up floors to get ready to sell, let me walk through first. I sort everything into three piles:
1️⃣ What we need to fix
2️⃣ What would be nice to improve
3️⃣ What we should leave alone
That third pile saves people a lot of money. Sometimes a $5,000 kitchen refresh can do what a seller was ready to spend $30,000 on. Fresh paint and a clean, well-kept house usually go further than a big remodel.
Thinking about selling in the next 6 to 12 months? Let's walk through it before you spend anything.
