Learn how we approach each sale to ensure top dollar for your home.

What are we willing to do to get your home sold? The answer is whatever it takes. 

As a general rule of thumb, you should never invest money in a home unless you’re going to get more money out. This is our guide to determine whether we should sell a home as-is versus putting some money into it. 

For instance, in our recent home for sale, we focused on the basics: we replaced the carpet, added some linoleum in the kitchen, and added a fresh ceiling. These updates were important to help the home qualify for financing.

“We do whatever it takes to get your home sold.”

In this case, we were selling the home as-is, but we noticed that cash offers were coming in around $200,000 below the asking price. That’s a tough spot for any seller.

To turn things around, we decided to make a few strategic updates. We took steps to make sure the home could qualify for financing, which ultimately got our owners an additional $150,000.

One of the key improvements was putting on a new roof. Another important part of this sale was addressing buyer concerns. The potential buyers had questions about the cesspool and the sewage pump connected to it. Since those were below ground, I reached out to the owner who lives on the mainland and asked, “Hey, where’s the cover for that sewage pump?” The owner gave me some directions, and I took the initiative to dig it all up. Now, we’ll market this properly and cover it back up after we’re done. 

The bottom line is that I’m here to do whatever it takes to get your home sold, whether it’s making minor updates, addressing buyer concerns, or just being proactive. If you’re looking to sell, reach out at (808)212-9188 or info@TeamLally.com. We’re here to make it happen.
