[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't listen to realtors who tell you to renovate. It only benefits them (easier to sell and higher selling price).[/quote]

Um, easier to sell at a higher price also benefits the seller, genius[/quote]

Except the higher price isn’t a benefit to the seller if you’ve spent more than the gain on renovations.  It is a benefit to the realtor who makes a bigger commission.  [/quote]

[b]You’re not very bright, are you?[/b]

The commission difference is negligible. An agent might net 100 basis points on a sale. If they get you another $10,000 for a house, that’s $100 in their pocket. Big wow.

The key there is selling quickly. That benefits both seller and agent. This is why interests align.

The biggest job in selling a home is removing all obstacles. So the real question for OP is do you want to sell it quickly or not? Updates are expensive and you might not recover the cost of them completely. But if it takes longer to sell your home, there is an opportunity cost to that, too.

Your fixation on agent compensation demonstrates [b]just how stupid you are[/b] and proves you should not be opinining on these matters in a public forum.

And, [b]since I can predict how your pea brain works, I will just cut off your lame retort by affirming [/b]I am not an agent, nor am I connected to the real estate industry in any way.[/quote]

Why are you so mean? [/quote]
