What sellers do with this guide
Most sellers we work with use the guide to make one of three decisions:
- “Yes, I should do pre-listing repairs.” — They use the priority list on page 4 to scope their own punch list, then call us (or another contractor) for the execution. The guide gives them ammo to evaluate the quotes they get.
- “No, my home is already in good shape.” — Page 11’s “what to skip” list saves them from over-investing. They list as-is and save the budget for moving costs.
- “I need a walkthrough — I can’t tell from the guide alone.” — They book a free walkthrough. We come look at the actual home, sequence the punch list, and write up a real estimate. No pressure to use us for the work.
