loved. Fixing your property before you sell is one of the smartest financial
decisions you will make.
You need to do a complete maintenance check before listing. You don’t
want buyers to focus on any small flaws you identify. Remember, if you have
noticed them, so too will they.
Avoid your buyer’s ‘negative checklist’. This is the list of defects and repairs
they will have to rectify in order to make the property ‘perfect’ for them
to live in. Buyers will notice superficial blemishes on the flooring, dents
and scrapes on the walls, leaking taps, etc. And typically, it’s the minor,
inexpensive repairs that make the biggest difference.
Also, when a buyer identifies a problem, she will immediately wonder
what else is wrong. A long ‘negative checklist’ will most likely result
in lower-priced offers… and we are talking thousands of dollars for
inexpensive repairs that usually only cost you hundreds to fix.
We are not talking about a major renovation. Instead, we are talking about
doing the necessary minor repairs as this will usually give you a much better
return on investment.
