If you're thinking about selling, there are a few things you should consider fixing before listing your home to avoid spooking potential buyers.
🔸By tackling these three repairs, you can increase your home's value and ensure a smooth sale.
1. Water / Plumbing Issues
Water issues are often expensive to repair, and if left untreated, mold can grow and spread to other areas of a home and may cause health troubles. Make sure that you are repairing any water or plumbing issues, and remediating any mold BEFORE listing your home for sale. This includes things as small as a leaking faucet, to as large as a leaking roof.
2. Structural Issues
Structural and foundation issues can be caused by a multitude of things — termites, water, age, etc. and can cause concern for potential home buyers. These issues can threaten the structural integrity of your entire home, so make sure you have any structural concerns addressed by a structural engineer (and repaired if necessary) before listing your home for sale.
3. Electrical Issues
Electrical issues are no laughing matter — they’re responsible for over 50,000 fires every year. These repairs can be as small as fixing faulty light switches, to replacing old wiring (note: knob and tube wiring should ALWAYS be replaced).
