Building Your Lists Of Definitely Yes, Definitely No, Maybe When Preparing Your Home To Sell


Building Your Lists Of Definitely Yes, Definitely No, Maybe When Preparing Your Home To Sell
By Scott Rogers • May 11, 2023
Walking around and through your house together can be help us build three lists related to preparing your house to go on the market... [1] Definitely Yes [2] Definitely No [3] Maybe The first two lists are usually the easiest to compile. There are usually some things that you should DEFINITELY do to prepare your home for the market and some things that you DEFINITELY don't need to do to prepare your home for the market. Then, there are usually a variety of items that go on the maybe list. What you end up doing from the "maybe list" will likely depend on... [1] Your time frame for getting the house on the market. [2] The resources you have available (time, know how, money) to get the jobs done before your house goes on the market. [3] The amount of buyer demand in your segment of the market. If you are looking to get your home on the market quickly and you don't have the time, know how or money to get things on the "maybe list" completed and there is an abundance of buyer demand in your segment of the market... then maybe you don't address very many of the items on the maybe list. If you plan to get your home on the market sometime in the next few months, and you have the time, know how and/or money to get things completed and there aren't as many buyers looking to buy in your corner of the market... then you probably should address most of the items on the maybe list. This all starts with walking around and through your home and having a conversation about all of the above. If you're looking to sell your home this summer, the best time to have this conversation would be now or soon.
