Friday the 13th Luck? Banish Bad Luck During the Sale of Your Charlotte Home!

With various ominous superstitions associated with Friday the 13th, some people will lay the blame on this ‘dreaded day’ for just about anything! From black cats to broken mirrors, bad luck can stem from almost anywhere and many sellers even like to blame it for their Charlotte home still sitting on the market after many months.

Think about dispelling the Friday-the-13th bad luck this month and get your Charlotte home SOLD! Ensure that you’ve repaired all of those pesky problems that inspectors focus on.

Here’s a list of problems to address to help you turn your bad luck to good for a successful sale of your Charlotte home:

Electric shock – Faulty wiring, which is especially common in older houses, might spook some inspectors into suggesting that the entire electrical system needs to be replaced. Have your wiring checked and update what you can before putting your house on the market.
Structural damage – While damage can be minor and not of immediate concern, you can be sure the inspector will point out potential long-term issues. Repair problems early, so that prospective buyers will feel at ease knowing you’ve taken the necessary precautions.
Water and air infiltration – This is probably the easiest and most inexpensive way to avoid scaring off a buyer. Just replace the caulking around windows and doors.
Hazards to health – If you live in an older house that contains asbestos or lead-based paint, before you put your house on the market, determine if these are a direct health hazard. If so, check with your insurance provider to see if any of the renovation costs will be covered.

Be proactive and banish bad sales luck this Friday the 13th. Fix those little issues that spook property inspectors. You’ll sell your house quickly and take good luck with you to your new Charlotte home.
