Your Tucson Realtor Gives Inexpensive Home Repairs

It isn’t luck that when a home sells quickly for top dollar. Your Tucson Realtor will tell you that there is a lot involved in getting a home to sell in any market. Making your home show-ready is important for any home, but these repairs don’t always have to cost a lot of money. Here are three vital home repairs that won’t break the bank.
First, change the light bulbs. In any home you want to make good use of light. It makes the rooms look bigger and homier. When buying light bulbs for your home use the brightest bulb you can. It will bring more light into the rooms. Also, when a Tucson Realtor brings potential buyers through the home, the buyers are looking for negative aspects on the home, and missing or burned-out light bulbs can send a bad impression on the home. It is an easy repair that can give big returns.
Your Tucson Realtor may also suggest another important repair of grouting sinks and baths. Cracks in the grout are very common in even newer homes, but it can automatically give your home a bad impression. Any Tucson Realtor will tell agree that replacing grout is an inexpensive repair that can add new life to your bathroom.
Finally, clean your carpets. Clean carpets not only make your house smell cleaner, but they can add new life to older carpet. Your Tucson Realtor can attest that spots on carpet can be extremely negative for buyers and can often result in a carpet allowance that will take money from the sale of your home. By having the carpets clean, you can show your home in the best form possible.
Not all home repairs have to cost a lot of money. Even if your home is relatively new changing light bulbs, cleaning carpet, and grouting sinks and tubs can help your Tucson Realtor sell your home as fast as possible.

Right now today I would like to talk to you about your home equity line of credit or mortgage through whichever credit union you may have. There are a slew of credit unions out there and we have worked with just about all of them at one point or another; at least all of the local ones here in the Tucson area. One of the things I want to do is dispel the myth that you can’t do a short sale on a home loan through a credit union. This just simply isn’t true and for some reason we get this question quite a bit or run into people that think they don’t have the option of doing a short sale because their mortgage or home equity line of credit is through a credit union.

We have completed numerous short sales where credit unions are involved and we work with them extremely well. There are a number of credit unions that get excited when they see us handling the short sale because they know we stay on top of things, we know our stuff and we get things done. What I want to stress today is that if you have a loan with a credit union don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do a short sale. Come to someone like me that is experienced and let us investigate the situation for you and determine what your best move is. Fill out the short sale request form on our website or pick up the phone and give us a call to discuss your particular situation or to have any of your questions answered.
