Do NOT do these 3 things before selling your house!

Steve Smith, owner and broker of Irish Realty explains the biggest 3 mistakes he sees sellers make when preparing to sell their home! As the number one real estate agent in Northern Indiana for four years and counting, Steve Smith has a wealth of experience and expertise. Over the years, he has honed in on what does and what does NOT help sell a house for top dollar. Here's his thoughts on the 3 most common mistake sellers make. #1 Do NOT put in a new driveway. While cracks or potholes do look unsightly, the cost of a new driveway typically vastly outweighs any value it can bring to your home. As Steve Smith says, "If you can park a car on it, it's good enough" #2. Do NOT put in new windows. Sure, black windows are all the rage and older windows with broken seals or stainless metal frames can date a home. So while you should feel free to make a repair to a broken window, replacing ALL the windows in your home and especially doing so with costly, high end energy efficient ones is typically a major mistake when it comes to ROI! *Hint: Steve has found you get the biggest bang for your buck when you spend dollars on things that attract sellers immediately like paint, carpet, and kitchen updates! #3. Do NOT put in insulation. When it comes to home improvements there could not be a more UNSEEN expense! No one will look through your listing photos or walk through a showing and exclaim, "Wow, this insulation is dreamy!" Nope...insulation is a DUD! If you like insulation...great, we can help you buy a new home and you can install it there where you plan to stay and enjoy it for many years to come!
