Keller Williams A Team Florida Realtors Broward County. Today’s buyers have good credit and income but not a lot of cash to make improvements, so it is well worth it for our sellers to make the property move in ready.   For homes, we pay for a professional inspection.  For Hillcrest condos, we know what to look for that can derail a deal, so we want to either fix what needs to be fixed or disclose it to the buyers so that it does not become an issue later.

Preparing a home or condo to be shown in its best light takes time.  It may be as simple as painting, a good cleaning and adding some colorful plants to the front yard or porch/balcony.  AS-IS properties do not fare as well in this market place.  Today’s buyers need a property that is move-in ready.  They are willing to pay a little more up front with a mortgage rather than have to come up with cash to make expensive repairs.
