The Silent Repair War What to Fix Before Selling Your Home - Episode 34

Описание: In this episode of Real Talk Real Estate, Scott and Don dive into the "Silent Repair War"—the battle between sellers who want top dollar and buyers who are looking for any reason to lowball an offer. They break down why first impressions are everything and how small signs of neglect can lead a buyer to assume there are much bigger, hidden problems with your home.

Whether you are prepping your home for the market or just curious about what actually adds value, this conversation clears up the confusion between necessary functional repairs and expensive cosmetic overhauls that offer zero return. Learn how to weaponize your home’s condition to increase your negotiating power and walk away with the best deal possible.

Key Takeaways:


The 30-Second Rule: Why buyers make up their minds the moment they walk through the door.


The "Big Four": How the condition of your roof, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical determines the strength of your home.


Low-Cost, High-Impact: Why touch-up paint, caulking, and fixing baseboards are worth more than a full kitchen remodel.


Avoid the Money Pit: Why luxury upgrades and moving walls rarely pay off for the seller.


Winning the Silent War: Using pre-listing inspections to control the narrative and avoid deal-killing surprises.
