3.) Quotes: There are home preparation items that may require a professional to do so quotes are necessary. Keep in mind these professionals may be booked for a while so the sooner you get the quotes the better. If you feel that you need more than 1 quote for a specific job, then maybe get 2 or 3 quotes from reputable contractors. Ask for written quotes. 4.) Doing the Math & Review: What do we estimate the home may sell for now in its current condition versus what do we think the home may sell for after doing the improvements. Always consider the time it takes to make the improvements and the current market conditions when deciding what improvements to make. Also, I recommend that when considering doing items that have a larger dollar amount (example: bath or kitchen remodel) to add 15-20% to the quote when doing the math. Itemize all the possible home preparation for sale items and then estimate the return on investment and the time it will take to complete the improvements and finally check the market conditions. 5.) Doing the work: When hiring someone make sure there are no ambiguities in what is expected to be done. When using contractors make sure their license is current, you can do this online with the contractor's state license board. Keep paid invoices paid to contractors and paid material receipts.
