Consider Upgrades for Selling Your House

When deciding whether to sell a house as-is or make upgrades for a higher sale value, it is crucial to find a seasoned real estate agent who provides honest advice rather than telling you what you want to hear. Good agents offer valuable insights and recommendations, guiding you on necessary repairs or improvements to enhance the sale potential. While some upgrades like adding square footage or improving the condition of walls and flooring can increase the value, cautious consideration is advised for preference-based upgrades that may not appeal to potential buyers.
