inspections because buyers are going to do their own anyway, but this is in my opinion is a major mistake that usually comes back to bite the sellers later in the transaction. • What cosmetic touch ups, repairs or renovations do you recommend we do before we put the home on the market? A home prep for sale analysis report along the home inspections will provide the home seller with items that the seller may want to address before putting the home on the market. Main items to consider when doing home prep for sale items will be time needed to get the work done, costs involved and return on investment. • Do you recommend that we professionally stage the home? Vacant homes usually show better and perform better after professionally staging and usually is recommended. Owner occupied homes will have to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Home presentation is another key item that the home seller has control over that will definitely have an impact on the sale. • What are we required to disclose to buyers? Home sellers will be asked to provide numerous disclosures, reports and advisories to the home buyer. There are mandatory disclosures, customary disclosures and contractually required disclosures that are supplied to the buyer ideally before the buyer writes an offer. Your realtor will discuss with you the different type of disclosures that need to be provided in the sale. Disclosures and reports are intended to provide the buyers material facts to the buyer that may affect sale and the buyer's decision to purchase the home;
among them are items that affect the desirability, enjoyment, usage and the value of the home.
