Marketing for sale

• Inspect your own house before the buyer does. Avoid a surprise that leads to a renegotiation where you have to credit tens of thousands of your dollars.
• Use the results to create an exhaustive list of everything found that might need attention

Have your agent identify and make a list of issues inside and outside of the property, that can affect both the perception of value as well as the actual value.

Estimate the costs and time to address, repair, or replace. Prioritize the list with your agent based on impact, benefit, cost and risk.

• Prioritize the items that needed attention in the preliminary inspection and Home Audit reports, and base priority on 2 factors:
  • The impact they will have when you are listed
  • The financial cost
• Factor in the "minimally required" issues first, (there are minimal levels of things that when absent are very damaging, like "visibly hygienic", when we are talking about how people live). Then add the "prioritized" issues
• Commit to fixing the "minimally required" and then move on to each successive priority determining when your are at a crossroads, financially, of getting "marginal returns".
