Avoid These Pre-Sale Renovation Mistakes

Thinking about selling your home? A pre-sale renovation can be a game-changer—but only if you invest wisely. Too many sellers waste money on flashy upgrades while ignoring the issues that truly impact a home’s value. Before you make a costly mistake, let’s talk strategy.

Many homeowners fall into the trap of overspending on renovations that don’t yield returns or, worse, covering up major issues that buyers will inevitably uncover.

Here’s what could be working against you:

  • Focusing on cosmetic updates while ignoring structural concerns like roofing, plumbing, and HVAC systems.

  • Over-improving beyond your neighborhood’s price range, leaving money on the table.

  • Hiring the wrong contractor—leading to subpar work that raises red flags for buyers.

  • Cutting corners on repairs, only to have them exposed in a buyer’s inspection.

Not all renovations are created equal, and knowing where to invest is key. In my latest video, I break down the biggest mistakes sellers make and how to ensure your renovation dollars work for you—not against you.
