Gather Documentation and Information for your Property Profile

Buyers value information about your home - the more information we can provide, the more confidence they will have in in competing with other buyers for the chance to own it. 

 

Here is a list of documents and information you may have or can access - provide what you can and leave the rest to me.

 

1. a list of significant upgrades with as much information as you can provide, such as the date, an invoice, description of the work done, the name and contact info of the company or individual, warranties, if there are any, and any other relevant documentation;
