There are also projects which don’t offer much of a return on investment, but still have to be done such as replacing a furnace. One of the major themes of this book is the importance of transparency when selling a home and making sure everything works as it should is part of that. Buyers simply take for granted that the furnace in your home should be in great shape, but they won’t increase their offer simply because you installed a new one recently.
One other important theme covered in section three is the need for a home inspection. I point out that a presale inspection is a good idea so you know exactly where you need to concentrate your efforts as you get ready to sell. It’s actually an investment that makes sense and the reasons why are explained in 10 key points that summarize the advantages quite succinctly. It’s also an attractive selling feature for the potential buyer as well as it suggests the seller isn’t trying to hide anything:
