People’s opinions of what a fixer-upper is may vary depending on who you are and what your experience level is in fixing up homes. If all the house needs is a coat of paint and some minor cosmetic repairs, then it’s probably worth it to do the work yourself before listing the house on the market so you can sell it to a retail buyer.
It’s always a good idea to consult your Orlando Real Estate agent before doing any work.
However, if the home is in need of some substantial repairs or a major remodel, then that’s a whole different beast altogether. Most of the time, properties that are in need of such repairs will be bought by an investor who fixes up homes for a profit.
Other times the buyer will be looking to fix up the home themselves with the intention of living there.
Most people don’t have the capacity to see past the repairs and visualize the finished product. These people need a little help and it’s up to you [the seller] to sell them what could be their dream house.
In general, it will depend on the extent of the repairs needed but, If you intend to list a fixer-upper, it will be advantageous for you to have some estimates from a few different contractors in the area.
A professional contractor has the skills and equipment needed to complete any repairs safely and in a timely manner. It’s always best to hire someone with the proper licensing and insurance to avoid any problems that may occur during the job.
