This $20,000 Mistake Home Sellers Make Before Listing

Thinking about selling? DON’T start remodeling yet.

A lot of sellers spend thousands upgrading their kitchen, bathrooms, flooring… only to discover buyers weren’t willing to pay them back for it.

So what actually increases your home’s value?

I break down the 3 questions I’d ask before spending a single dollar in this quick video. 👇

Watch before you call the contractor.

What would you do with a little more room to live?

Imagine coming home to a place where you can spread out, slow down, and actually enjoy the space around you.

Just over an acre to call your own
An attached 6.5-car garage for cars, hobbies, toys, or projects
A patio made for summer evenings
A kitchen with plenty of cabinet and counter space
Warm hardwood floors
A partially finished basement with room to make it your own

And you’re still close to the parks, trails, shopping, dining, and community that make this area such a great place to live.

Curious if this could be the one?

If you’re thinking about selling your home, there’s a question I hear all the time:

“What should I do to my house before I put it on the market?”

And usually, that question is followed by a list.

Should we remodel the kitchen?
Should we replace the flooring?
Should we paint everything?
What about the bathroom?
Do we need new windows?
Should we finish the basement?
What about the roof?

Here’s the truth I’ve learned after years of helping homeowners buy and sell real estate:

The best improvement isn’t necessarily the one that costs the most.

👋 Hey Neighbor,

Here's a little secret about real estate:

You don't always need to spend thousands of dollars to make a home feel more valuable.

Sometimes, the biggest difference comes from fixing the things buyers see every single day—but homeowners have stopped noticing.

A worn-out faucet.

A dated light fixture.

A scratched-up front door.

A loose cabinet handle.

None of these things individually are a big deal.

But stack enough of them together and buyers start thinking:

“This house needs work.”

And that's a very different feeling from:

“This house has been loved.”

Let's talk about the small-fix advantage.

🚨 Want to Negotiate? DON’T Make This Pricing Mistake.
Think pricing your house higher gives you more room to negotiate?

It might actually give the buyer more leverage.

In my latest video, I explain why the smartest pricing strategy isn’t about starting high—it’s about creating enough buyer interest that you have options.

Watch the video. The answer might change how you think about pricing your home. 👀

There’s a question I hear from sellers all the time:

“Shouldn’t we price the house a little higher so we have some room to negotiate?”

On the surface, it makes perfect sense.

If you want to sell for $500,000, why not list at $525,000 and see what happens? If someone offers $490,000, you can negotiate your way toward the number you actually want.

Simple, right?

Not exactly.

👋 Hey Neighbor,

Here's something I've learned after years of helping people buy and sell homes:

Buyers don't just inspect houses. They look for reasons to feel good—or bad—about buying them.

And one of the first things they notice has nothing to do with countertops, flooring, or square footage.

It's how easy the home feels to live in.

A house can be beautiful...

But if buyers can't figure out where they'd put their furniture, how they'd use the rooms, or where they'd store their stuff, the excitement can disappear quickly.

This week, let's talk about one of the most overlooked ways to make a home more valuable in a buyer's mind.
