Before you spend money, let’s walk through and look at what a buyer is likely to notice. A sticking front door and an older kitchen raise different questions. We can compare your home with recent sales, talk through the time and cost involved, and decide which items are worth your attention before you list.
If you’ve decided to skip projects before moving, we can build the pricing and showing plan around the home you have today. Read more about selling your home as it is.
I start with the closest matches and look at the differences a buyer would experience on a tour. Two homes on the same street might have similar square footage, but one may have a finished lower level or an extra full bath. I’ll show you which sales I gave the most weight and why.
We can put the offers side by side and look at what you would receive after any requested credits, when each buyer wants to close, and what conditions each offer includes. If you need the proceeds for your next move, the closing date may matter just as much to you as a difference in price.
Start with what you already have handy. A list of recent updates, receipts for major work, and information about any association fees or equipment agreements can help me understand the home. For 7005 Chadds Ford Drive, the solar agreement helped answer questions buyers had about the monthly cost and transfer.
Whenever a conversation would help you make a decision. If your move depends on a job change, the school calendar, or finding your next home, we can work backward from that and talk about when pricing, photos, and showings would fit. It’s fine if you don’t have a listing date yet.
