Shape It Up! Imagine the excitement of going to a car dealership to purchase a shiny new vehicle. Your anticipation is high - until you pull into the lot. There you see a scattering of dusty vehicles parked helter-skelter around the building. Some have flat tires, others are scratched and dented. If you even make a purchase, would you pay their full asking price?

Now imagine you’re a homeowner planning to sell. Your front door needs paint, the yard is choked with weeds, the carpet soiled, and the bathtubs need caulking. In short, the house is in a state of “deferred maintenance.”

What about the price? Most homeowners want to receive every dollar possible for their home. It’s only natural. So, the home is priced at top dollar. All that’s missing is a buyer.

Now imagine you’re a prospect for that home. Would you pay the asking price, given its present condition? The home is just begging for a low offer, isn’t it? Worse yet, many buyers would walk away, looking elsewhere for the home of their dreams.

If you plan to sell your home, be aware that buyers often offer $2 less for every $1 in needed repairs. It’s just a rule of thumb, but one which merits your attention. To receive top dollar, offer your home in model home condition - or it’s you who will pay the price.
