Working as a home improvement contractor, I suggest similar ideas. Cheers
Excellent points, well said, straight to the point. Helpful video ✅
I really appreciate that! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video and advice. I've done many of them and it makes such a huge impact. I painted my kitchen cabinets and put beautiful hardware on them and WOW what a facelift. Plus, I'm enjoying the kitchen more too! Also, nothing like a really clean house. I once sold a house in 12 hours, and I really attribute a lot of it to being immaculate. Thanks for such great content. It is really helping me prepare for what's next for me in real estate. And Good Luck! 1000 is just around the corner:)
Thank you! I wish the best for you in all your future real estate endeavors!
Great advise. Love the tip about builder grade carpet.
Thanks!
This is all really great advice - thank you for posting!
Thanks for your kind words! And thanks for watching!
Disclosure; I have been a real estate inspector for as long as you've been an agent. One thing to guard against, that I've seen too many times, is spending your prep budget on cosmetic details and having nothing left to fix what the inevitable inspection brings to light. The seller might think about getting a pre-sale inspection to identify items in need or repair. There is a lot of stuff that I find that would have been cheap to fix and not clutter up my report. Drain stoppers, door stoppers, label the breakers in the panel, caulk around windows, backflow preventers for hose bibs, easy stuff. And yes, roofs and air conditioners. You are not going to sell a house without a good AC here in Houston, so get it done. Get the roof done while you can shop around for better prices instead of being at the buyer's mercy. (Pro tip - lighter color shingles reflect more heat)
If you ask me to come in and look around and talk to myself and ignore you taking notes behind my shoulder, then there is no report that may need to be disclosed.
Thanks for your comment! It's good to hear from a professional. And you are absolutely right. So many of those things you mention are cheap fixes that could be taken care of before the property is listed! I have suggested a pre-sale inspection so many times over the years, but so few buyers take that step. Thanks for your great advice. I really appreciate your input!
This is the best video!
Thank you! I really appreciate your comment.
A diffuser in the bathroom helps the house smell clean, and that's the best place for it, because the bathroom tends to emit the most offensive odors, and because a diffuser emits moisture, which is less apt to be a problem in a tiled bathroom.
Thanks for commenting! That's great advice. Sellers do need to be careful to not overdo it when it comes to adding aromas. But a diffuser tends to be more subtle than a lot of candles or plug-in odor eliminators. Thanks again for your input!
@@KenTyndallRealEstate Diffusers use essential oils, to which no one would be allergic. I choose lavender scent for its calming effect.
Missing or damaged baseboards? Replace them. It's inexpensive, and most hardware stores will even cut them to the size you specify. If you don't replace them, the house looks unfinished, and as though you are in the cheap, desperate to sell, and unable to do even the smallest things.
Absolutely replace missing or damaged baseboards! Thank you for your input! You summed it up perfectly in your comment and I appreciate it!
I've watched a few "Don't do this when you're selling" videos and I have to tell you... I disagree with so many things! First, let me just say on my own behalf that whatever I did, I did with selling in mind. Whether it be keeping items in good working order or replacing an entire kitchen, I've always maintained everything to the highest level I was able and did them for my own use and peace of mind... then I used them (for a time) before selling. That may be what's skewing my thoughts about the subject but any house I've ever wanted to sell has sold without even being listed, sold for higher than any neighboring home and the buyers have all been ecstatic for being able to nab it! Some have even remained lifelong friends! Now, I would say if you're living in a very sub-par abode and by fixing or replacing one item and making the remainder of the home look even WORSE, then by all means follow the advice of the video. I think the key is maintain, maintain and maintain with updates along the way and an eye toward selling down the road. My 2c.
Thank you for you 2c and your thoughtful input! I think you nailed it! Maintain, maintain, and maintain. Clearly, the approach you take as a homeowner is correct! So many people don't do that. I also do everything with selling in mind, even if I plan to stay there for a while. And doing things for your own use while you're living there is another thing you're doing right! Thanks for commenting!
@KenTyndallRealEstate I like what you said, and it makes a lot of sense.
@@KenTyndallRealEstateexactly - this was the message that I got from your video. Of course fix things while you are living there and can enjoy and/or get benefits from upgrades but don’t just do all those expensive Reno’s just before selling.If people would only clean and declutter that would make a huge difference!
@@rosemarie9956 Thanks for your input! Yes, clean and declutter! You would be amazed at some of the houses I have seen while showing buyers potential homes! I appreciate your comment!
We actually renovated our bathroom just before selling our house. The layout was terrible and contributed to the amazing deal we got on it when we bought it. It wasn't a big deal for us but was a problem for others. There was a wall of dead space from bad design from original builder. We just bumped out the wall and took a closet out of the basement that didn't need to be there. And we turned the bath around so we could fit a separate shower and added built in shelves.
When we bought it, it had sat on the market for 18 months. We sold it in 9 days. We didn't care about that bathroom but the Toronto market place did. Layout is important in bathrooms.
