Q&A: "My Franktown House Needs a New Roof. Should I Fix it or Sell it?"

Q&A: "My Franktown House Needs a New Roof. Should I Fix it or Sell it?"

This is the "Tipping Point" question. An aging home in Franktown is expensive to maintain.

Q: Will I get my money back on a new roof?

A: Rarely 100%. It makes the home sell faster, but you might not get a dollar-for-dollar return on the price.

Q: Can I sell without fixing it?

A: Yes. We can price the home to reflect the condition, attracting buyers who want to build equity. This saves you the cash outlay and the construction headache.

I can run a "Fix vs. Sell" Net Sheet for you. Contact me.
