What should I fix before selling my house and what can I skip?

Sellers often wonder which improvements will help their home sell and which are unnecessary. Preparing efficiently can lead to stronger offers without overspending.

Trisha Dunaway evaluates each home from a buyer’s perspective. She recommends cost effective updates such as fresh paint, basic repairs, simple curb appeal enhancements, and staging strategies that highlight the property’s strengths. Cleanliness and well organized spaces also make a significant impact.

She explains which projects rarely provide a good return. Expensive renovations or highly personalized upgrades often do little to increase market value.

Trisha’s guidance focuses on smart preparation tailored to the home and the current market conditions. With the right improvements, sellers attract more interest, reduce time on market, and avoid spending money where it will not matter.
