[planning and preparation]Consider a home inspection before listing your home for sale in Charleston
I doubt very many people who are thinking about selling their home in Charleston wake up in the morning and try to find the best Charleston real estate agent to put their home on the market that day.
Or in a totally unrelated subject that is a post for another day, get together with their cousin's daughter Susie who just got her real estate license to list their home for sale.
The key to successfully selling your home in Charleston is planning and preparation before you put it on the market and to make sure that it is ready to be shown from the minute it is placed in the Charleston MLS.
One important consideration is whether to go to the expense and trouble of having a home inspection and making repairs.
So think about this, your buyer will most certainly have a home inspection and will ask you to do the repairs anyway. But what if they get "spooked" by a lot of repair items needed and decide that they don't want to buy your home any longer.
A pre inspection will reveal what problems if any exist and the cost to fix them. So after negotiating a price, you won't be surprised later if and when there are hundreds or thousands of dollars to fix issues that might exist cutting into your proceeds from the sale.
