Repairs Before Selling
What Is Worth Fixing
Not every repair is worth making before you sell. Some improvements deliver 3x return on investment. Others add nothing. Here is what matters in the Charlotte market.
Frequently Asked Questions
What repairs give the best ROI?
Fresh interior paint (neutral colors), landscaping, carpet cleaning or replacement, minor kitchen and bath updates, and fixing any deferred maintenance. These are high-impact, low-cost improvements.
What repairs should I skip?
Major kitchen and bathroom remodels rarely return their full cost before a sale. Same with swimming pools, high-end landscaping, and room additions. Buyers would rather customize these themselves.
Should I replace my roof before selling?
If the roof is actively leaking or has less than 2 years of life, yes. If it has 5 plus years remaining, disclose its age and condition. A roof credit at closing is often more practical than replacement.
Will Craig tell me what to fix?
Yes. Craig walks every listing and provides a prioritized repair list based on what will deliver the highest return in your specific price range and neighborhood.
