Why it matters to sellers
If your house only needs cosmetic work, it is often worth more on the open market than you might expect, and a direct sale may not be your best option. We will tell you that honestly. If you still prefer a quick, simple sale, we will make an offer.
Frequently asked questions
Which updates add the most value before selling?
It depends on the house and the neighborhood. Paint, flooring and making the kitchen and baths feel current usually matter more to buyers than large structural changes, but there is no universal answer. Compare the cost of each update with prices of recently sold nearby homes.
