What Repairs Should I Do Before Listing?

Small fixes make a big difference; here's how to spend smart before you sell.

Before listing, most Metro Detroit sellers ask if they should replace everything.
The short answer: no. Focus on the repairs that affect first impressions and financing.

Fix leaks, sticky doors, and cracked caulk; buyers notice maintenance more than marble.
Address anything an appraiser might flag: roof damage, loose handrails, electrical issues.
Update lighting and paint to brighten the space.

These quick repairs signal care and confidence to buyers and help your home pass inspection without drama.
