What repairs should a seller make?If you want to get top dollar for your property in Sebastian, Vero Beach or other location in Sebastian Florida, you probably need to make all minor repairs and selected major repairs before going on the market. Nearly all purchase contracts include an inspection clause, a buyer contingency that allows a buyer to back out if numerous defects are found or negotiate their repair.
The trick is not to overspend on pre-sale repairs, especially if there are few houses on the market but many buyers willing to buy at almost any price. On the other hand, making such repairs may be the only way to sell your house in a down market.
One sure way to ensure that your money is well spent, is to have the home inspected when you list it, and then complete all of the repairs that might be found. This really adds to the marketibilty of your home, as the buyer will know he has no repairs to make and that the home is move in ready!
Another option to improve the marketability of your home in Vero Beach or Sebastian is to include a one year home warranty that covers all of the major systems in the home. This is inexpensive, and when combined with a pre-inspected home, it makes your home almost irresistible.
Be honest with yourself, because once we get this home sold you will probably be buying another one. Wouldn't you like it to be fully repaired and warranted?
