Sell As-Is or Fix It Up? Let’s Weigh Your Options

October 11, 2024

When selling your home, a common question is whether to list it as-is or make repairs. If you’re aiming for a quick sale, selling as-is can be the easiest route, though it might mean accepting a lower offer. Making repairs, on the other hand, can increase your home’s value, but it doesn’t always guarantee a higher price or faster sale.

In a competitive market, buyers might be more forgiving of small issues, but in a slower market, they may expect a home that’s move-in ready. Even small updates like fresh paint or sprucing up your landscaping can boost curb appeal without a large investment.

If you’re on the fence, one of our agents can help you assess what makes the most sense for your home and situation. Let’s connect and figure out the best approach for your sale!

Ever heard of the butterfly effect?
It’s the idea that small choices can create big ripple effects.
Back in high school, I worked hard to get good grades because I really wanted to go to BYU. That effort got me in—and at BYU, I met my husband. Now, 20+ years later, we have four kids and (almost) two grandkids. One decision. One goal. And a whole life shaped by it.
Crazy how the little things turn into the big things, right? 🦋

Pro Tip for fellow agents: Arrive 10 minutes early to every appointment! ⏰

Unexpected delays happen – traffic jams, slowdowns, you name it. Planning for those extra minutes eliminates the stress of rushing and allows you to:

Center yourself: Take a deep breath and get organized.
Be your best self: Present a calm and confident demeanor to your clients.

A little early is always on time! 😉

My 5-9 before my 9-5…

Real estate doesn’t follow a traditional 9-5 schedule, but my mornings are where the magic begins.

☀️ Here’s how I start my day:

Movement: Whether it’s a quick workout or a calming walk, it helps me energize and clear my head.
Scriptures & Meditation: My favorite time to read and pray and review my priorities before the day gets busy.
Prep: Get my family ready and get myself ready.
Go time: Reviewing client needs, market updates, and today’s to-do list so I’m ready to serve.

By the time the clock strikes 9 (or earlier 😉), I’m focused and ready to make moves for my clients.

I’m a huge fan of the ‘2-minute funeral.’ Let me explain!

Ever had something come up—maybe someone said something hurtful, or you find yourself stuck in a cycle of overthinking? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Set a timer for 2 minutes and fully lean into the anger, stress, sadness, or hurt. Feel all the feelings.

When the timer goes off, I say a little prayer, asking for it to be lifted from me. Then I remind myself: We’re done. We’re done spinning on this, thinking about this. It’s time to move forward.

Maybe this could be helpful for you too. Have you ever tried a 2-minute funeral?
