Real Estate Tips

Selling Your Home >Plumbing Preparations

The plumbing is one of your home's most mysterious systems. The pipes are hidden in the wall, and when you have a problem, you have to call in a plumber. Since plumbers' rates are hefty, prospective buyers are often frightened away by evidence of leaky pipes, ceiling stains below shower pans, or antiquated bathroom fixtures.

If you are planning to sell your home, it is a good idea to solve your plumbing issues before you place it on the market. Take care of any cosmetic damage that leaks may have caused after the plumber has finished his work. Plumbing repairs are cost-effective, because most sales agreements call for all systems, including the plumbing, to be in working order. If you have a problem, you will probably have to repair it before the closing anyway, so by doing it ahead of time, you eliminate that issue. Plumbing that is in top condition will make your home appear to be well cared for and will make it more attractive to potential buyers.

I realize that buying and selling a home is one of the most crucial financial transactions of your life. In what can be a confusing and sometimes difficult process, it pays to leave as little to chance as you can. With my help, you can navigate unknown territory with ease. To fill the specific residential needs of home buyers and sellers, the Residential Sales Council of the National Association of REALTORS institutes a class of expert real estate professionals: the Certified Residential Specialists (CRS). Fewer than 3% of all Realtors have earned the right to be called a "CRS". Fewer than 3% have developed special residential sales skills and enhanced their residential sales knowledge through education, dedication and experience. At Bonnie Ferrell & Co., Inc., I am proud of the fact that I have earned the CRS designation, and therefore have the knowledge and experience to assist you through the entire home buying process. Additionally I am also a licensed residential and commercial contractor. I have been actively building new homes since 1996. I invite you to put my vast skills and knowledge to work for you.
