Smart Pre-Sale Repairs.
Spend Where It Counts. Skip Where It Doesn't.

What buyers notice. What inspectors flag. What actually adds value.

The Right Approach to Pre-Sale

There's a version of pre-sale preparation that costs too much and returns too little — the full kitchen remodel on a house that doesn't need it. And then there's the version that works: targeted, intelligent repairs that address exactly what buyers notice and what home inspectors flag.

What Buyers Actually Notice

Buyers walking through a home are doing two things simultaneously. They're imagining living there — and they're cataloging everything that needs attention. A dead outlet. A bathroom fan that sounds like it's about to give up. Doors that don't latch. A water stain on the ceiling that raises questions nobody wants raised during escrow.

These aren't expensive problems to fix. But they're the kind of details that give buyers negotiating leverage and make home inspectors write lengthy reports.

What We Assess

Electrical — dead outlets, GFCI failures, lighting that doesn't work. Doors that stick or don't latch. Bathroom fans that are failing. Drywall damage and water stains. Visible caulk failures around tubs and showers. Deck boards that need replacing. All the things a home inspector will note and a buyer will negotiate on.
