Fix & Sell

Rather than letting a "flipper" come in and make a quick buck, why not "flip" your own house, and get the most money possible for it? We'll give you the lowdown on which improvements will raise the price of your house the most, how to find the people to do the updates, and most importantly... how to pay for it all.

Blog post on how to buy now, sell later.

hello peeps fellow pickle peeps that’s right Rail and Diane bro here yeah she’s Diane she’s thickly I am the pickle lady as well my pickles have not come in yet I need to be in production yeah and there’s a delay on pickles I don’t know what uh what the run is on that but we’re trying anyway so yeah I’m still the pickle lady I still have plenty in the in storage but I need to make more so anybody has a pickle source for me uh actually give me a call yeah yeah yeah I’m looking for some we’ve been buying uh five gallon pails yeah and uh they’re running out so you’re running out what’s happening anybody’s got a good connection let me know let me get some pickles yeah but we’re here today besides all of that that’s in a size as we say in the business it is yeah I’m here today to talk about fixing cells all right so this is uh for our sellers here in Prescott also our buyers where you’re selling wherever you’re selling your home before you come here uh fix and sell is a great option for you um you know there are these people out here called flippers right so they buy homes and they do stuff and they make money because they sell for more money than they buy and a lot of what they do is fix and sell yep um so in essence fix and sell is about flipping your own house you know you figure out what what can you do to add value to the house that is a multiple of what it’s going to cost you uh so typically the things that really do well uh first of all is always paint oh yeah paint’s always a good one always paint yeah always paint freshen up freshen up if you’ve got scuffs if you’ve got dents if you’ve got a lot of nail holes you know just Spruce it up paint it it also smells good when you read it it makes the house feel new and fresh yes of course stay away from crazy colors stay away from dated colors if your house off dated colors crazy colors faux finishes anything like that yes sponges do yourself a favor paint it paint it uh we’ve told stories in in previous episodes there was a house beautiful home that yeah I thought it really wasn’t that crazy it was like a mint green yes but that did uh that they they did not paint uh up front in the end they discounted the house it probably cost him about 60 Grand they ended up having to paint the house anyway to get it sold so yeah your Aquas your moths your peaches get that out of there because what it screams is 80s and 90s you haven’t done anything to your house in a long time this house has dated yeah so keep that in mind that’s an easy way uh what’s our other thing countertops countertops floors is another good one the lighting there are a number of things that you can do or Landscaping is another really good ones yeah really good impression out front relatively small will end up adding immense value to your home and you’ll come out ahead when you do evaluation on your home generally they’ll give you a range you know you could get anywhere from you know let’s say 450 sometimes it’s 450 to 650 you know it’s a huge rain correct if that’s the case that means that your your home is in a neighborhood where prices vary a lot and that’s because they are in different stages of a Readiness to sell so the ones that really need a lot they’re going to trade on the lower end those that look like new and just been renovated they’re going to go on the high end so try to get it done yeah I mean it helps you in your pocket you know and so what’s a good way to do that yeah well one thing you should know is you may be overwhelmed with that yeah with it a couple things first of all if you don’t have the money to do it um you can get it paid for with a loan that you pay out of your proceeds when you close uh those deals are available they’re very straightforward uh generally they’re tied with people that they will hook you up with who can do the work if you hear in Prescott we can help you find people to do the work uh well worth doing uh you can combine that I think we did an episode on uh by now buy now sell later where you um you go ahead and buy your home and uh and then you sell the home you’re in later and uh it is really a a good thing to do we have another episode I’ll do a I’ll do a link down there uh below this video on that but you can combine the two you know you can vacate the home have the work done yes you know and then sell it all comes out of proceeds and generally you’ll come out ahead because you’ll get a much better price for your home and you will sell much faster that’s the other thing too yeah it will sell much better because we all know trying to be on the market can be torturous yeah at best even in uh really difficult seller times you know it’s a strong buyer’s market uh homes that are well staged and well prepared they still go really fast they still absolutely so you know so try to put your best foot forward show that house to the best of its uh the best that it can possibly be yeah absolutely it’s all about curb appeal and stepping in and people just feel oh I can see myself here I love it this house is lovely it’s cozy and I don’t have to do too much people love that people love that they want to unpack and move right in and start their next chapter yeah so yeah so if you’re interested in the number of uh non-traditional options for sellers if on the other hand you don’t particularly care you know it’s just
