How Can I Sell My Home For The Most Money?

By

A common question is “How can I sell my home for the most?” Sharon Lee, the head of the listing department at JLee Realty, provided extensive ideas for you to think about.

The first seven ideas are basic and are often mentioned even though many Silicon Valley real estate agents propose extensive remodeling, which is only rarely a good idea.

Starting Point For Getting The Most When Selling Your Home

  1. Fresh paint.
  2. Repair any leaks.
  3. Replace light fixtures.
  4. Manicuring lawn, new mulch, clean yard.
  5. Replace hardware and fixtures.
  6. Replace high impact items on inspection report.
    • Offer a repair credit at closing and include multiple estimates.
  7. Fixing flooring issues if it looks bad (significant wear and tear).
