Home Improvements Before Selling

Selling a home is daunting and there are many questions to ask before listing:

How is the market?
Can I command top dollar?
What improvements do I make?
What do I risk leaving be?

Understandably, these questions leave many people overwhelmed. Therefore, our owner sat down with John Gscheidmeier to have an in depth review of these topics. Please listen to this Podcast created by John Gscheidmeier, MSM ABR BPOR PSA. John is the Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Service First, LLC. His websites include http://www.soldwisconsin.com and he also founded http://protectingheroswi.com as well. What a great program!

A Podcast Summary

The fact is that no matter how the market is moving, painting before selling your house will always help you command top-dollar for your home. The bigger question is where to invest the funds and which home improvements are necessary before selling your home.

Does the curb appeal convey this home has been cared for?
How much does the first impression matter?
Do I want potential buyers to question how I cared for other things…. the roof, furnace, plumbing, etc.
Does the interior feel inspire confidence, cleanliness, peacefulness, a blank slate or a “wow” factor?
Can I create a bidding war by making the home as most desirable as possible?
At the price point I’m listing, what will people really expect?

Colorwheel will help you mitigate spending while maximizing ROI. Because we hold ourselves to high ethics, our consultants operate in good-faith with full honesty. For instance, if a room looks good, we tell you. If the ceilings are fine, we won’t sell ceiling work! You get the idea. You can expect us to isolate only what we feel you should do, and we’ll even prioritize the list. And we do this quickly, with guaranteed completion dates. This way, you can schedule a photographer and get your listing to go live A.S.A.P. In conclusion, many a realtor recommends us because of the value of painting a house before selling. They know we get things done right, on time, and on budget.

Buying A New Place?

Most home improvements before selling are more affordable when done in an empty house. Consequently, consider having Colorwheel paint your new home before you move in. Even if you are tight on time, we can develop a plan that works for you!

Look at these advantages:

Empty spaces are more easily and quickly worked in, saving you money because we pass the time savings to you!
We guarantee our start date and finish date, planning our work with you, and then working our plan. With this:
- A project manager can even meet you at closing and get keys!
- Colorwheel can put a lock-box on the home to facilitate coming and going
- We schedule a day crew and night crew for especially tight timelines
- Your heavily occupied spaces are done 1st, like bedrooms or a family room that’ll receive a large entertainment center
- We’ll often come back AFTER you move in to do hallways and stairwells prone to move in damage
- Non-furniture spaces like kitchens and bathrooms can be put on the back burner if we need to prioritize
Color selection is done prior, on or off-site, with us or an interior designer of your choice
