– Service or replace major systems, such as the HVAC, water heater, or main plumbing lines, to signal the home is well maintained.

– Repair active roof leaks and address damaged siding or gutters to avoid red flags during showings and inspection.

– Address lingering water damage, mold, or pest problems so buyers feel confident in your home’s condition.

– Tackle foundation cracks or obvious structural concerns that could derail negotiations later.
