5 Things to Do Before You Sell

1. Get estimates from a reliable repairperson on items that need to be
    replaced soon, such as a roof or worn carpeting, for example. In this 
    way, buyers will have a better sense of how much these needed repairs
    will affect their costs.

2. Have a termite inspection to prove to buyers that the property is not
    infested.

3. Get a pre-sale home inspection so you’ll be able to make repairs before
    buyers become concerned and cancel a contract.

4. Gather together warranties and guarantees on the furnace, appliances,
    and other items that will remain with the house.

5. Fill out a disclosure form provided by your sales associate. Take the time
    to be sure that you don’t forget problems, however minor, that might
    create liability for you after the sale.
