But if your roof is leaky, old, or missing a few shingles, buyers won’t be happy making an offer on your home. Roof issues can be a major sticking point for buyers — and will 100% turn up in a home inspection. Likewise, many home buyer programs won’t finance homes with old or broken roofs. If you want to save yourself the hassle of scrambling to make repairs at the last minute, I recommend having your roof checked out by a licensed professional before you put your home up for sale. Whether your roof needs to be completely redone or you just need to replace a few shingles. Have a professional take look so nothing is left to be a surprise or issue you're not aware of. The Secret to Selling for Top Dollar According to the National Association of Realtors® 2017 Profile of Home Staging, about one-third of buyer’s agents said that staging a home increased the dollar value their clients offered between 1 and 5% compared to other similar homes on the market that were not staged.
So what exactly is staging?
Home staging is the act of preparing a home for sale by arranging furniture and decor that allows potential buyers to picture themselves living in the home. The goal of staging is to make a home appealing to the highest number of potential buyers, causing it to sell more quickly and at a higher price point.
