I have had sellers in the past only focus on the small things versus the big things. For example, changing the outlets or replacing ceiling fans. It’s wasting your time and could be also wasting your money. Buyers usually want sellers to take care of the big ticket items instead of the small. The NAR, National Association of Realtors also have some ideas on this topic. I hope you found this helpful. Stay tuned for more Real Estate tips and tricks.
