Three sale routes for a repair-heavy Pierce County house

  1. Make three comparable scenarios

    Keep estimates honest about unknowns

    Use the records for the actual property

    Your preparation worksheet

    Before choosing a sale route

    Discuss your property

Separate necessary repairs from resale upgrades: a worked comparison

Illustrative situation, not a customer case study. A buyer plans a full interior renovation, but some existing finishes may still function. The offer does not separate repair and preference.

DecisionEvidence to gatherNext useful action
Condition baselineInspection findings and available photographsDescribe what is known and what still needs investigation.
Renovation assumptionBuyer scope and excluded itemsAsk how optional upgrades affect the proposed price.
Transfer termsIncluded supplies, appliances and possessionRecord exactly what stays with the property.

Use the comparison for your situation

For each row, write what you know, where the information came from, and what still needs confirmation. Assign the next action to a person or organization. An unknown item stays open; it is not a zero cost, an approval, or a commitment.

This preparation example does not establish a price, completion date, eligibility, or a professional finding. Use the scope and sources in this guide for the next conversation.
