• So you want to sell your home, and youre stuck
  with this question Do you sell as-is or fix
  minor home repairs? Here are some things to
  consider when you want to sell your home

Fix-It Up or Sell As-Is?

• Your real estate agent should be the first person
  you talk to
• Generally
• If your home needs a lot of repairs, sell it
  as-is
• If your home only needs minor repairs, its
  better to fix it up

Repairs that Increase the Value of Your Home

• Paint Refresh tired rooms with a fresh coat of
  paint. Light or neutral tones appeal to most
  homebuyers
• Exterior The outside is the first thing buyers
  see. Ensure grass is mowed, bushes are trimmed,
  fences are painted, and personal items are out of
  sight
• Kitchen Kitchens are big selling points. Paint
  walls and cupboards, update old light fixtures
  and modernize countertops
• Bathroom Refresh it by fixing leaky faucets and
  showerheads. Clean the grout and paint walls.
  Make these rooms bright and shiny
• Hardwood floors Hardwood is desirable. If you
  lack hardwoods, ask your real estate agent if you
  should install it before listing
• Carpet Replace old and stained carpet. If your
  carpet still has plenty of life, hire a carpet
  cleaning service
• Miscellaneous Ensure doorknobs work, light
  switches, and sockets are safely behind covers,
  doors close properly, locks latch, and windows
  open and shut

• There may be other important things to repair
  before listing your house, but these are some of
  the most important. The best part? They wont
  break the bank.
