As a Realtor ® my number one goal is to help Houston Homeowners sell their homes for top dollar but, sadly, common home repairs are the biggest culprits that stop homeowners from getting the most money for their homes.

In today’s post I will share with you 4 repairs you should consider making to your home before you list it for sale.

Tip 1 – Repair Crooked Cabinets

When you stare at you’re the cabinets in your kitchen or bathrooms do you have to tilt your head?

If your cabinets are a little crooked, take the time to properly hang cabinet doors, repair broken hardware and insure that the doors to you cabinets can open easily when buyers come to view your home.

Tip 2 – Fix Leaks in Your Home

Does your kitchen or bathroom sink leak?

Maybe the back of your toilet resembles a lake?

Hire a plumber now to fix those leaks since water leaks can be very costly and if they go unchecked a leak can ultimately cost you thousands of dollars in repairs to flooring and cabinetry.

Tip 3 – Oil Squeaky Doors and Hinges

Although your home might be newer, if it has squeaky hinges or doors you should oil them immediately since they can cause a home buyer to wonder what else may be wrong with your home.

Tip 4 – Open Stuck Windows

One of the biggest mistakes Houston homeowners make is painting over their windows, especially in basements or spare bedrooms.

You should unstick those stuck windows in your home as soon as possible since home buyers will want to know that everything in your home is in proper working order.
