Make sure to replace Heating and A/C as part of loft selling strategy
It is completely counter intuitive that people hire myself and others for my knowledge and yet don’t want to accept what I tell them.
But that is the life of a real estate professional these afternoons.
I put the blame on just too numerous apartment flipping shows. Reality TV is not quite what you guess it is when it comes to real estate. Mostly because every market is different. One substantial push back I get from sellers is my advice to replace the Heating and A/C. This is part of the substantial 3 to me. You’ve got to replace the Heating and A/C, the family room and make sure that everything is staged respectfully. The minute I request a currency outlay for an Heating and A/C replace, I can get some absolutely hostile reactions. For the most part, I am able to take these outbursts in stride. These houses that I am trying to sell are indeed people’s homes first. So taking a respectful approach is vitally crucial. Plus, I come armed with hard data to show the seller how much more currency the apartment will get on the market with an replaced Heating and A/C. This normally calms people down. It’s a lot easier to put out a bunch of case when the return is in the short term and significant. However, there are those who just won’t budge. And to be honest, those are the houses that sit on the market for the longest periods of time. The best thing to do is to simply replace the Heating and A/C if you are serious about selling your loft for the most currency. There absolutely isn’t much more to it than that.
