HOW IT WORKS
Fix To List is a process provided by Paul Tylock w/ EXP Realty where we help homeowners identify issues with their home before it hits the market. Then we provide our trusted contacts to get the work done. Unlike most realtor services that simply point out the issues and wait for you to fix them, we are with you weeks before providing the contractors you need to streamline the process!
Plan & Preparation
Market ready Launch
The Results
After the Fix To List process is complete. You have now taken most of the negotiating power away from the buyer. These minor repairs and updates are often used by buyers to get the price down, ask for more concessions, or even walk away from the deal entirely. You have now put yourself in a position to sell your home for more and have a much smoother selling experience!
After 10 years of selling my own properties and helping over 400 families. I have found a common pain point that sellers struggle with. This is how Fixed To List was created. Selling your home without making those minor repairs and updates is like selling a car with the check engine light on. Buyers take notice, and they'll pay less.
Case Study - How we prepared this home to sell fast and for more!
BEFORE
This homeowner reached out after struggling to sell their property. The home had been sitting on the market for over five months with plenty of showings but no offers. Listed at $175,000, buyers were hesitant because the property hadn't been updated since the late 90s. During our fix to list consultation, I recommended a simple but effective presale home preparation plan to make the house more appealing to today's buyers. Our strategy focused on affordable, high impact improvements that would increase buyer interest, reduce repair negotiations, and help the home sell faster at top dollar.
After
As you can see in the before picture. We painted the interior walls and removed the old carpet in all the bedrooms and replaced them with new, modern vinyl planks. Then made a few minor repairs we felt the buyer would ask for anyway. Total cost for this homeowner was around $10,500 for the improvements. We went back on market for $199,000 and received an offer within 14 days for $195,000. This homeowner (who worked out of State) Was given a complete hands off experience with us managing the selections and scheduling for the work to be done. Even though he spent $10,500 on improvements. We were able to sell his home for $20,000 more than his original asking price in a matter of weeks, not months.
The Stastictics
That scramble creates stress, unexpected expenses, and usually one of three outcomes:
A price drop that cuts into your bottom line.
A repair allowance at closing, which means you walk away with less.
Massive concessions to keep the deal alive.
In almost every case, the seller ends up paying more — either in money, in time, or in headaches.
That’s why preparing your home to sell is so important. When you repair your home before it sells. You're not only taking away the buyer's negotiating power. You are showing pride of ownership!!
That’s where Fix to List comes in. Preparing your home to sell in Lafayette, Louisiana is more than just cleaning and staging — it’s about knowing which repairs buyers will demand. After personally buying, renovating, and selling over 40 properties in the Lafayette area and sitting through 100's of inspections with my buyer clients, I’ve learned exactly what buyers focus on.
