She tells clients to look at their location (Location, Location, Location!) and think about whether or not they love it, whether or not they have room to expand, and whether or not they have the margin in their life to handle a remodel! However, if there is something REALLY great on the other side, then moving may be the right choice.\n\n Mary Stuart says your first call should be to your agent\u2026.not your handman. A good agent will give you the full list things to do and save your handyman the extra trips. \n\n She says that while it may be frustrating to spend the money on a home you\u2019re planning to sell, it really is money well spent. The first impression is important to buyers. Additionally,\xa0because the internet has made it possible for buyers to tour your home in pictures before ever stepping foot inside, that has only become more true! The goal is to get them to look online and be excited to see it in person.\xa0\n\n\n\n\n Graham and Kirsten both love the idea of a house that is a project, but the truth is, we are the exception! Mary Stuart tells us that most people want a house that is\xa0done and move-in ready!\n\n\n\n Mary Stuart shares some great tips for selling a house:\nLearn more about your ad choices.
