Finishes, fixtures, flooring, and hardware may seem minor, but the proper updates can make a huge difference when putting your home on the market.

Today's buyers, for example, are hard-pressed to find a property due to low inventory. Yet, buyer trends indicate those looking to move are more likely to choose a super dialed-in, move-in-ready residence or a home that needs complete renovation. This trend provides excellent insight and an opportunity for buyers and sellers, with the right real estate agent, to either do pre-sale updates to ensure it sells for top dollar or buy a home that needs a little work for a great price and get those updates squared away before move-in day.

👉 Join me for a look at how we took a similar approach to the sale of 473 Montecito Drive in beautiful Corte Madera.
