Dear Anderson Group,
My wife and I are looking forward to being empty nesters. We feel good about the local housing market and would like you to list our house. However, there are some projects we never got around to completing and some touch-ups that are needed around the house before any buyers walk through the door. Help! -- Jim
Hi Jim - We’d be honored to help you sell your home! As a soon-to-be empty nester, you are in a very common position. You’ve been busy with careers and raising your family, and it’s not surprising that deferred maintenance around the house has started to add up. Couple that with buyers’ high expectations of having lots of updates and you’re correct to think that a little work is in order before we list your home and start racking up the showings.
The first step would be for us to tour your home and give you our professional opinion on which kind of updates are called for and will pay off in terms of higher offers and shorter market time. Once you’ve decided which projects you’d like to complete, we have a full roster of licensed professionals that have done great work for our clients time and time again and that we could refer to you. These are excellence-driven painters, handymen, plumbers, electricians, roofers and flooring experts that will get your home ship-shape at a reasonable cost.
And when it’s time to start looking for your new home, we’ve got you covered there too. It’s all part of the way The Anderson Group provides “concierge-level care for every client, every day”.
