And don't forget all those little repairs that you've been putting off. Discuss major repairs and upgrades with your Realtor before you shell out big bucks. While you are digging through that pile of papers on the desk or those files in the closet, you should be digging out a few important documents. If you have done any work on the house or have bought any new appliances or fixtures which will remain with the house, find the receipts and warranties. If you bought your home new, see if you can locate the floor plan or any other information about your home.
Utility bills are also helpful.
Call your utility company and ask them to send you a meter summary. That's a lot of work. Now the fun begins. Choose a Realtor and price your home. For a free comparative market analysis of your home click here to email me your contact information or call 918-5285.
