Small Fix-Ups Can Mean Big Money

Easy Home Repairs Eliminate Negatives And Increase Value

Give buyers the opportunity to fall in love with your home.

Here are a few things you can easily do around your home to increase the chances of an offer:

• Fix any squeaks, rattles, drips or leaks
• Tighten or adjust door and window hardware
• Re-caulk windows, sinks, and tubs
• Replace any broken screens

The idea is not to hide problems (in Florida, any known problems, whether visible or not, must be disclosed to the buyer) but remove the minor problems. A squeaky door, or torn screen, may create doubt in the buyer’s mind, or give them a feeling that other problems may exist. Eliminating the problems keeps the buyer interested and allows them to see the home in a positive way – opening up the opportunity for them to then fall in love with the home.
