Real Estate Curve

The ideal listing is freshly painted, with beautiful wood floors or handsome carpet, and is outfitted with an up-to-date kitchen and bathroom. Does this describe your home? If not and you’ve decided it’s time to sell, your Realtor® can give you some suggestions. If it’s going to take more than a bout of spring cleaning to get your home ready for market, you may want to consult with both a Realtor® and a home improvement contractor. Realtors® know what colors and styles buyers are currently favoring, and can sometimes offer cost-effective solutions to specific problems. The contractor can provide an estimate and framework for putting your plan into action. Having looked at repairing and refurbishing your home, you may decide that the price-in dollars or disruption-is simply too much.

In this case you may want to sell your home as a “fixer-upper”, having consulted with your Realtor® to determine what you can expect to get for an “as is” sale of your home.
