When you sell your Charleston home, you want it look
as good as possible. To do this, your real estate agent will help you stage
your home or, if needed, help you find a professional to stage your home. This
means de-cluttering your home, re-arranging furniture, and de-personalizing
each room.
A staged home is more appealing to buyers and helps
to highlight your home’s positive features. However, staging is not meant to
cover major flaws in your home. Some things just have to be repaired.
Roof Problems
It doesn’t matter how pretty your Charleston home
is, your buyer is going to expect you to fix roof problems or adjust your price
to cover them. Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home.
Cracked
Tile
Of course, you can use throw rugs to cover cracks in
your tile, but chances are your buyers are going to look under them. Then they
may think you are trying to hide a serious problem like a shifting foundation.
Save yourself the headache and have your floors fixed.
Broken Windows
You have to expect your buyers to walk around your
home checking out the views from the windows. They’re going to notice any
cracks. If you have the budget, consider upgrading your windows and making your
home more marketable. At the very least, you should have the glass replaced.
Torn Screens
If you have torn screens, your buyers may think you
don’t take care of your property. Yet, screens are fairly easy to fix on your
own. With the right supplies from your local hardware store, you can have new,
sleek screens in less than a day.
