Make sure to upgrade Heating as well as A/C as part of lake house selling strategy
It is completely counter intuitive that people hire myself and others for my expertise plus yet don’t want to accept what I tell them.
But that is the life of a real estate professional these days.
I put the blame on just too various house flipping shows. Reality television is not quite what you assume it is when it comes to real estate. Mostly because every market is different. One big push back I get from sellers is my advice to upgrade the Heating as well as A/C. This is part of the big 3 to me. You’ve got to upgrade the Heating as well as A/C, the study room plus make sure that everything is staged correctly. The minute I suggest a money outlay for an Heating as well as A/C upgrade, I can get some legitimately 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 important. Plus, I come armed with hard data to show the seller how much more money the house will get on the market with an upgraded Heating as well as 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 plus significant. However, there are those who just won’t budge. And to be honest, those are the houses that rest on the market for the longest periods of time. The best thing to do is to simply upgrade the Heating as well as A/C if you are dire about selling your lake house for the most money. There legitimately isn’t much more to it than that.
