5 Things to Do Before You Sell
- Get estimates from a reliable repairperson on items that need to
be replaced soon, such as a roof or worn carpeting, for example. In
this way, buyers will have a better sense of how much these needed
repairs will affect their costs.
- Have a termite inspection to
prove to buyers that the property is not infested.
- Get a
pre-sale home inspection so you’ll be able to make repairs before buyers
become concerned and cancel a contract.
- Gather together
warranties and guarantees on the furnace, appliances, and other items
that will remain with the house.
- Fill out a disclosure form
provided by your sales associate. Take the time to be sure that you
don't forget problems, however minor, that might create liability for
you after the sale.
