I have overheard buyers say that the home "probably has earthquake damage" after seeing a small crack in the plaster.
This is a simple cosmetic fix.
A handyman could have put on a little drywall, sand it down, and do some touch up paint, all for a very small fee.
But because you didn't, some buyers will literally think your home is collapsing and will pass on buying your home.
Do a walkthrough of your property with a handyman and point out all the little things you want repaired BEFORE your home hits the market.
You will sell faster and for money by doing this easy strategy.
