Well, my mom/realtor did a walk through of our place. We got a laundry list of things that need to be fixed or updated. The good news is that it is not as bad as we thought. Yes, there are other places on the market for less than we were hoping to list our place. However, it's going to take time to get our list of thing done. So, we are going to list the house after the first of the year, and take our time to get the house done right.
You might be thinking: Good Lord! You live in a townhouse! It's only 1200 square feet- what could you possibly have to do to it? Well....
1. Get a New Front Door
2. Make the front a little more welcoming.
3. Repaint the outside lamp
4. Paint the living room
5. new mirror in the downstair bathroom
6 New sink in kitchen
7. new countertop in kitchen
8. new garbage disposal
9. fix all the cabinets so that they close all the way
10. new sliding glass door or fix the lock on the one that we have
11. fix the seal on the door leading to the garage
12. remove the screens on the windows in the baby's room & the downstairs living room
13. wash the window treatments on the upstairs hall window.
14. Take some of the pictures on the wall down
15. thin out all the stuff
16. thin out the toys
17. Do a deeper cleaning- make sure there is no hair dye on the walls in the bathroom- my bad.
18. new countertop in the 2nd bathroom upstairs
19. Find a new spot for the desk in the master bedroom
20. Do something to make the patio area more.... appealing.
So yes, most of it is cosmetic and not all of it is very expensive, but it's going to be hard work, especially since I don't think I'll get much professional help... unless you count the therapist I'm gonna need
