What do you need to do to be ready? I am Jason Bergman, the best Real Estate agent in Pasadena, and as your unofficial real estate mentor, here are your instructions.

Have your agent (if you need one I have a global network) come to your home and provide you with advice on recommended updates and repairs specific to your property type, price point, and neighborhood. Then follow these simple steps below:

1. Presale Inspections

It can be wise to consider getting professional presale inspections before putting your home on the market. There are pros and cons to obtaining these inspections before finding a buyer. Still, in many instances, these inspections will help you identify and address any major repairs that may be required or that a potential buyer may use as a negotiation chip. Why not avoid surprises later in the game?

2. Basic Repairs

Unless you are prepared to compromise on price, some home repairs are essential. These include repairs to broken mechanical and heating systems, siding, major fixtures, and structural deficiencies. A move-in-ready home can help bring more buyers to the table.

3. Cosmetic Improvements and Remodel

Surface improvements can include fresh paint and landscaping and are quick, affordable ways to help a home show better and often result in positive returns. In some instances, larger renovations can assist in profitability. We can help you choose where to spend your money to maximize your net proceeds. There are staging and price strategies that your agent should provide to you too, but this will get you on the right path. Here for questions E
