Small upgrades and repairs
can make a big difference
There are few things that put
buyers off more than viewing
a home that appears to be
neglected. If you want to
maximize your chances for
getting top dollar, consider
doing some minor upgrades
and make all necessary repairs...
even those that are
“out of sight, out of mind”.
Leaving aside major structural and functional matters, here are a few relatively
minor upgrades and repairs that can go a
long way to improve how buyers perceive
your home.
The Exterior:
• Fix or replace anything damaged or
worn, such as patio and deck, gutters
and eaves, windows, shutters, screens,
storm doors, light fixtures, porches and
steps, walkways and fences
• Touch up all exterior paint or, if need be,
re-paint the house
• Fix doorbells, tighten loose doorknobs,
and all squeaking hinges
• Clean and or paint the front door, polish
the front door hardware, and even
replace the “Welcome”
