Have you completed any renovations since buying your home?

If you’re thinking about selling, now is a good time to find the paperwork connected to the work. Buyers will want to know when a project was completed, who completed it, whether permits received final approval, and which warranties transfer.

A renovated kitchen, finished basement, new roof, or updated heating system can all come with records that help answer those questions.

Comment PAPERWORK and we’ll send you the post so you can see which renovation records to track down before you list.

Organize the renovation paperwork buyers may ask for before you sell, including permits, warranties, receipts, service records, and documentation for major systems and improvements.

Many homeowners believe that listing a property above market value leaves profitable room for negotiation. However, historical data shows this strategy backfires. Overpricing filters your home out of correct buyer search brackets and shifts the leverage entirely to the buyer during later price corrections.

We broke down the exact math behind monthly carrying costs and the psychological impact of a stale listing.

Being self-employed gives you plenty of freedom, but applying for a mortgage can come with a little more paperwork. Instead of relying on pay stubs, lenders may review your tax returns, profit and loss statements, and income history from the past two years. They’ll also look at your net income after business deductions, which means tax write-offs can affect how much you’re approved to borrow.

Knowing what lenders want to see before you start shopping can make the process much easier.

When the current lease ends, what do you plan to do with your rental?

Renewing may make sense, especially if you have a good tenant who wants to stay. Still, a lease renewal is a good reason to check in on the property. Its value may have changed since you bought it, and the homes around it may be attracting a different kind of buyer today.

An agent can tell you how similar properties have been selling and whether your tenant could be an advantage in a sale. Have that conversation before another lease is signed and your timing is set for the year ahead.

We’ve written a new article for rental owners who are beginning to ask these questions.

Learn how an existing lease and the tenant’s plans can affect your timing, showings, and possible buyers when selling a rental property.

Our latest post gets into what's resonating in home design right now.

Home design has shifted in a clear direction. Here's what's resonating right now across color, materials, kitchens, outdoor spaces, and how people are thinking about wellness at home.
