SHOW NOTES:

  • In a strong home sellers-market, selling your home “as-is” is a popular way to avoid buyer demands for repairs. But that strategy often backfires and hurts your chances of getting the best price for your home. We share a better strategy to get the best price with the least hassles.
  • Whether your furniture is heirloom or Ikea, it’s likely to take a few hits from time to time - especially if you have kids! But while the water rings, dings, dents and furniture scratches are inevitable – they are also easy to fix!
  • Do you need to hire a contractor, but afraid you’ll get a bad apple? You can weed out the unqualified or reliable GCs by asking the right questions – we share an easy-to-follow checklist that walks you through.

    • Plus, answers to your home improvement questions:

    • Casey from Oklahoma wants to know how to properly seal a pressure treated deck.
    • Nancy in Pennsylvania is wondering, how do you identify asbestos in her ceiling tiles?
    • Ed in Iowa wants to know if he has an insulation problem with his cathedral ceiling.
    • Janiese from Kansas wants to know if she needs to seal epoxy grout.
    • John from Connecticut is asking what the best flooring is to put on top of concrete?
    • Wendy in Georgia needs better weather stripping for her metal door.
    • Dave in Alaska is having trouble with a floor in a multi-family home.
    • Leah from Kansas has concrete porch that keeps cracking to do earthquakes and wants to know which product to use to fill the cracks.
    • Mike from North Dakota wants to know if he needs to put in drywall and insulation in his detached garage.

      • Do you have a home improvement or decor question? Call the show 24/7 at 888-MONEY-PIT (888-666-3974) or post your question here.
