Selling a home
Should I make repairs or upgrades before selling?
The short answer
Focus on fixes that affect buyer perception and inspection outcomes — fresh paint, clean systems, and curb appeal usually return more than major remodels. Kai can estimate the ROI of specific upgrades — and Lena, our maintenance expert, can sanity-check repair quotes — so you spend only where it moves the sale price.
