1. Don’t hide what isn’t working: If an appliance isn’t working, leave a note that indicates what isn’t working and how you’re getting it fixed. Don’t try to conceal defects because it can make the inspector start to view you as dishonest and wonder what else you’re hiding.





2. Make things accessible: Ensure the location of the attic and crawlspace are identified and easy to access. Don’t make a home inspector move your belongings in order to do his or her job. Also, don't forget to leave keys if you have any of the closets locked up.

bigger_is_not_always_better_400When you put your home on the market the key to selling your home is to work with your Realtor in a true partnership.

If you are selling your home, you may want to tackle some of those home improvement projects you’ve been putting off. After all, turn-key Jacksonville Beach homes sell faster and for money, right?

Sure, a home that is move-in ready offers a number of advantages for the seller, but over-improving your home can have some drawbacks, too. In short, putting too much money into home renovations and repairs before you sell may not make sense financially.

Small improvements like a fresh coat of paint or a new faucet to replace your old faucet that won’t stop dripping are always a good idea, but when it comes to large home repairs and improvements, you will want to weigh your options.

Here’s what to consider when debating whether to improve or pass on it:

You know the bathroom is an important room in the home when it comes to buyers, but your budget (or your patience) doesn’t call for a full bathroom remodel.
