Why Your Home's Condition Matters

When you are selling your home, the condition can have a dramatic impact on the price you get for your home and how long it takes to sell. Also, most buyers will want an inspection, so it really pays to take the right steps to prepare your home. Here are some tips for preparing your home for an inspection, and for the sales process.

It's a good idea to do this before you actually put your home on the market - you only get one chance to make a great first impression. Be sure to use a reputable contractor - give us a call if you would like some recommendations.
