Planning to sell your Rockford house but not sure how to get top dollar? Modern Times Homes has been buying Rockford properties for quite some time and we will be happy to give you advice on what to do to get a top dollar for your house.
The houses that sell the fastest on a market are the ones that are fully renovated, from top to bottom. Meaning the whole exterior was renovated; new siding (hardy is the best quality), new roof, new windows, new driveway, landscaping, and also new interior; renovated, open concept kitchen, new floors, new trims and doors, new bathrooms, new furnace. If you have a brand new house it will surely sell quickly, because home buyers want to move in and enjoy their dream house, other than worrying what needs to be fixed. Usually for fully renovated houses it only takes days or hours before receiving good offers.
If you are planning to sell your house fast, take notes of what needs to be done in your house. If you recently updated the exterior; meaning that you installed a new roof 3 years ago and new siding, that should be fine. Maybe consider spray washing it to make it look cleaner and nicer. How does your landscaping look? Invest some money into curb appeal because if it doesn’t look inviting from the outside, homebuyers will not bother to enter it because they will build an idea in their head that it doesn’t look nice.
Have you done any updates inside your house in the past 6 years? If yes, what have you done? New bathrooms? New kitchen? New floors? If yes then maybe consider repainting it to make it look nicer and cleaner. If your kitchen is outdated maybe consider at least a little bit of updates to it like repainting kitchen cabinets, and installing new appliances. When it comes to renovations, the kitchen will be the most expensive.
Before you start doing any updates, maybe invite a real estate agent that could give you good advice on what to do with your house to make it look nicer and sell faster. Make sure you use a good real estate agent that actually knows the area and current market condition. Allso, if you decide to do upgrades, invite a professional that could give you a free estimate on how much your renovations would cost.
