Making Smart Repair Decisions for Your Home Sale
After years in your home, the thought of tackling repairs before selling can feel overwhelming. Which ones actually matter to buyers? Which ones can you skip? Let’s figure out what makes sense for your situation and budget.

After years in your home, you’ve probably noticed things that need attention—maybe the furnace is getting older, the roof has seen better days, or the electrical system feels outdated. When it comes to repairs before selling, the real question isn’t what needs fixing, it’s what makes sense to fix before selling.
Should you replace that aging HVAC system or price the home accordingly? Is it worth updating the electrical, or will buyers handle it themselves?
My approach is straightforward: we’ll walk through your home together, identify what buyers will actually care about, and create a repair strategy that makes sense for your timeline and budget. No pressure to overspend on unnecessary updates, no guessing about what matters—just honest guidance to help you make smart decisions.
When you’re ready to talk through your repair priorities, I’m here to help you navigate these choices with confidence.
