Renovating before Selling?

Renovating before Selling?


A common question I get is whether or not to renovate prior to listing your home. This question is best answered at an in home appointment where we can go over the plans you are considering and also the comparable sales in your area. Considering other sold property and their level of updates will play a role in making the decision on your property.

Whether or not to renovate before selling depends on the timeline, financial ability and also the desired outcome. We can dive more into that at an appointment in your home.

This before photo was taken during the Pre- RENO consultation where I discussed with the Investors what would be a good course of action. As it turns out they were already thinking of knocking out this wall but questioned whether or not it would be worth it. I told them YES!! We don’t always knock out walls, so don’t panic! In this case, we chose to open the wall because of the stunning River Valley view. It paid off.

I also helped them choose their paint, flooring, back splash, fixtures and did the Staging for them.

The result? The first open house 4 days later resulted in a PENDING OFFER. Even though the AFETR picture is blurry, you can see the difference!

Some sellers are not 100% sure if they should take that on…I am here to help. Not only do I offer a Pre-RENO consult, I also offer options to have the work completed for you, manage the contractors and handle the details from start to finish!
