How to Prevent “I wish I would have done this sooner”

‘I wish I would have done this sooner’ is a common phrase I hear when helping Sellers prepare their home for the market. So, I’m putting together a series of tips to help you enjoy home ownership now (as opposed to just before you move).

I Wish I Would Have Done this Sooner, Tip #1: Have your home inspected every 5 years. While this tip isn’t sexy, and it will cost you time and money, it is a wise strategy to help preserve and maintain one of your largest assets. An inspection will help improve your maintenance plan/schedule (or lack thereof) and identify issues prior to them becoming more expensive problems. Condition translate to value, a home in great condition will get top dollar, so why not enjoy a home that is in great condition then reap the benefit when you sell?
