Seller Resources
The Goal.
Ending up with more money at closing is what counts. This money, called net return, is the selling price of your home less your debt and costs. Spending big bucks on improvements and marketing might get you a higher selling price but won’t necessarily increase your net return. Your strategy is to do only those certain things that will likely increase your selling price more than the cost of doing them. Realize that you probably will not be able to do them all.
This booklet will show you what to do and what not to do.
