Rockridge real estate agent - Susie Wyshak's promisesWe’ll begin by discussing your goals — and ideal outcomes, even if your selling timeframe is down the road a few months or even a few years. 

  • Do you want a quick sale at top dollar?
  • Perhaps a 1031 Exchange is the plan for your investment property? 
  • Do you need a flexible buyer who can give you a 1-month rent back to downsize and move? 
  • Maybe you’d like to test the waters off-market, maybe selling for cash to the highest bidder. 
  • Do you want to buy before selling? Perhaps you’re plotting a move across the Bay — or maybe in another state or country — before selling your house so you only need to move once? 

Whatever your desires and limitations, Susie is prepared to serve — or to connect you with someone who can best help you achieve those goals.

Update Your House — Without Upfront Expenses

Homes are rarely ready to put on the market as-is. Sometimes it’s just a little TLC that can help future buyers visualize themselves in the home.

This might be fresh, neutral paint to replace outdated wallpaper or updated flooring that sets the house apart from the one down the street.

Perhaps you would like to fix items from the pre-listing home inspection (which is always a good idea!). Taking care of those items will make your property to buyers looking for that move-in ready gem.

READY TO SELL FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does it cost to update my house before selling?

Just like any remodeling, the cost of updating depends on the repairs and upgrades made.

In collaboration with your listing agent Susie Wyshak, you decide which home upgrades to make that will have the biggest impact on price at the lowest cost. This is usually flooring and paint improvements as well as landscaping and others.

Home sellers can pay for the upgrades investment when the house sells, up to a year after the project.

There are limitations on how qualifies and for how much.
Ask Susie to tell you all about it!

What types of updates will help my house sell for more?

It’s remarkable what even a good window cleaning can do to make a brilliant impression on buyers (and their agents).

Depending on the condition of your property, our team might suggest updates in areas such as: 

  • Flooring Replacement/Repair 
  • Carpet Cleaning / Replacement 
  • Deep-Cleaning
    Cosmetic Renovations 
  • Landscaping 
  • Interior and Exterior Painting 
  • Roofing Repairs 
  • Kitchen Improvements from Countertops to Cabinets 
  • Bathroom Improvements and Updates 

The team can also help with staging. Staging has been proven to have a huge return on investment, as it helps buyers imagine what it will be like living in their new home.

What if I don’t want to leave after my house is gorgeous and fixed up?

Believe me, you are not the first to ask this question. You might have been selling to move into a more modern place. Suddenly your old house is a sexy new home!

Good news: Of course you can stay in your house after it’s updated. As you might have guessed, the fix ups won’t be free. You’ll just have to pay for them much as you would paid a contractor to work on your house. 

NEXT STEPS: Get in touch with Susie for details on how the program works and other ways we work with you to maximize your home sale price.
