Agents, right now your buyers are exhausted just thinking about looking for a new home, getting qualified by their bank and the idea of having to pack and move.
Between work and family commitments, a fixer-upper can feel scary.
Many will pay more for turn-key just to avoid the stress of managing the work.
So for a property that needs TLC, this can make your job more challenging, especially if you are the listing agent. Your job is to show what the home can look like, not just its current state.
Help them make an informed decision by making them see beyond the work that is needed, the value of its location, the space it is offering them and its potential.
Renovations are not for everyone. But, some might see the benefits of taking on a project. (On a side note : they don't have to manage that project either. There are Interior Designers, Project Managers and Contractors that can take the lead and the weight off their shoulders.)
It also helps you, as their Realtor, to understand their needs, comfort levels and non-negotiables.
That's exactly where I come in. With a background in Interior Design and in the process of getting PMP certified, I use my professional knowledge, my personal experiences and tools to virtually redesign spaces in order to show the property's potential, create visuals for the buyers that has a hard time envisioning what it can be, I can help write a compelling description that sells the vision (in French, English or both).
