It may appear that easy sometimes, but the truth is, your home can also be a significant source of liability for you if you don\u2019t know how to protect yourself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every change, upgrade, and improvement must be disclosed to prevent the risk of potential for litigation. In addition, inspections need to be done, and necessary modifications depending on the buyer\u2019s requests could factor into play.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>Timing Is Everything<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing to sell your home is the easy part. But unfortunately, finding the right time to get top dollar is a little more complicated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interest rate changes can impact buyers&#8217; opportunities for one, as well as market shifts, such as if there is an increase in inventory on the market, it may deflate your offers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rockethomes.com\/blog\/home-selling\/best-time-to-sell-a-house\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the best time to sell your home<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is late spring, with May being the best time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reasons for this include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graduations from school and need to downsize<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retirements<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gap time from the holidays, so buyers have more purchasing power<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vacation time means more time to prepare, pack, and move<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Military deployment orders<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With springtime being the best time to consider selling a home, it only makes sense to develop a renovation strategy that puts your home in the best light at the right time of the year to achieve maximum profit on your sale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><b>Renovation Strategies<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But smartly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/property-blog\/how-to-renovate-your-home-on-a-budget-before-selling\/\">renovating your home<\/a> can vastly increase your closing price, but it has to be done intelligently.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Curb appeal should be top of any list in your upgrades. The first time a potential buyer may see your home is from the front curb, spending a little on new paint, landscaping, and other possible minor upgrades can make your home give a great first impression.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prioritising your return on any investment in upgrading your homes includes figuring out the best areas to upgrade.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A priority to get maximum return on the cost of improvements in your home is the kitchen and bathrooms. The reason is that the prices to upgrade are cheaper and can vastly change the perception of your home, increasing perceived value as a result.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lower on the list are the bedrooms.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A little paint and lighting fixtures are all that may be required, and there are many reasons for why. Bedrooms are private spaces, and people don\u2019t host many activities in their rooms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, as bedrooms are private, people like to individualise the areas, so sinking money into these rooms is just a waste of your time and money.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>For Sale By Owner Or Choosing An Agent<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every home seller is looking to make the most amount on the sale of their home, and one of the things they consider is to try and sell it on their own, what is known as an FSBO, or for sale by owner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehouseshop.com\/sell-for-free\">The advantage to selling as an FSBO<\/a> is that you can eliminate some of the agent fees associated with brokering a deal, but there are some significant concerns to be aware of.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, as an FSBO, you need to market the property ons sites like TheHouseShop to find buyers who know how to handle all the disclosures, title, escrow papers, and any other contracts associated with the deal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Otherwise, you could open yourself up to some severe litigation down the road.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get top dollar, it may be best to hire an agent such as super agent <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/streeteasy.com\/profile\/917666-samuel-kooris\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sam
