how much the repairs will cost.
SHUTTING OFF UTILITIES TILITIES
Keeping utility services on will prevent weather damage. Additionally, a home without lights is difficult to show and gives buyers the impression that the house needs more repairs than it really does. Keeping utilities on will make it more comfortable for anyone seeing the house. VIEWING HOME STAGING AS AN EXP S AN EXPENSE RATHER THAN AN INVESTMENT What you spend on staging your home can actually boost the sale in terms of time on the market and price received. It can help you make more money. Don’t underestimate the miraculous impact that staging can create.
NOT REPAIRING OR CLEANIN R CLEANING THE HOME
You’re going to lose money on the sale of your home if you’re not prepared to make repairs before listing it for sale. When you act ahead of time, it’s less expensive to fix things, plus it’s an embarrassing (and expensive) proposition to let potential buyers see the faults of the property. Likely, prospective buyers will offer less or demand a credit for the repair work that needs to be done before the deal closes. In addition, experts say clutter is the culprit that eats at the equity and kills deals. Decluttering your property can create a sense of a spacious home. Clearing off the kitchen countertops, overflowing closets, and filled shelves in the den doesn’t cost much, but brings ample reward. Clear the home of all unwanted things. Completely declutter the home before listing.
