             ERA Justin Reports On Recommended Work Before Selling
In this 2011 real estate market, no one wants last minute surprises. For these reasons, many sellers often order pre-sale inspection reports. Based on results sellers then determine how much, if any, of the recommended work should be done before selling.  To maximize your return from the sale, you should considering repairing defects that adversely the property as it may create a negotiation discussion during the sale process.

Carol Calamari, ERA Justin Realtor professional offers, “First impressions are important. So, if the fence or entry porch is rotted and look shabby, repair them. If the exterior paint is peeling, repaint as necessary. You get positive results when you repair a defect and improve appearance. Sellers must be aware that there is an abundance of housing inventory on the market and each seller is in competition with every other seller. It is difficult to have a second chance to make a great first impression.
You certainly can't be expected to rebuild your house in order to sell it. When structural elements are in need of repair and you haven't the time or money to repair them, it's a good idea to get repair estimates and make these estimates available to prospective buyers during the offer process. This way, you're in control of the process and can find reliable contractors or engineers who will give you reasonable and not exorbitant estimates.
It can be unsettling to a buyer to discover that the roof is in poor condition or the foundation needs work. Most buyers will have no idea how much it will cost to make repairs. Fear of the unknown makes people anxious, which isn't a good frame of mind for someone who's trying to decide whether to buy your home.”
