Homes just don’t get better on their own. From the day you
move in, your home begins to slowly fade from its prime.
When you decide to sell your home, your buyers will make a
thorough inspection before closing. Usually a trained inspection specialist
will go through every element of your home. The inspection is not limited to
the roof, air-conditioning, heating, electrical, foundation, and major
plumbing. The inspection can cover everything in your home.
No matter how well-maintained you keep your home, inspectors
will always find additional repairs that buyers will want to have fixed.
Mentally set aside a fixed amount of money that you are
willing to use for repairs, then add 50%!
Once you get the inspection report from the buyer, don’t get
upset or hide under a rock. If the report calls for $1,000 in repairs, and you
are already willing to do $500 in repairs, don’t be “penny-wise and
pound-foolish.”
Get on with the repairs.
Even if your lose this buyer, the next buyer will want the
same repairs. Why not get them done the first time and save weeks or months on
selling your home?
