Sometimes you will get lucky and find a buyer who is already interested in remodeling. Sometimes you find a buyer who has certification in that area, and will buy the house for a lower price and plan to do his or her own work. If you are unable to update and repair, be honest, upfront, and flexible. An interested buyer will work with you. If you can update, highlight fixes you can handle. Then, note any fixes requiring professional assistance. Finally, note anything you wish you could fix. Start with the easiest items and work down the list. Remember the 80/20 rule, and focus your efforts on the updates and repairs that bring the greatest returns! POINTS TO REMEMBER: ; Adding inexpensive storage space can increase your home’s appeal to buyers. ; Often, creating another bedroom is as simple as adding a closet to an unused area. ; Before making additions, study what other homes in your market have to offer. ; Consider hiring professionals tomaintain or upgrade plumbing, electrical, HVAC, or other mechanical systems. • • •
