What Should I Fix Before Selling? Steve Rifkin’s Tips

Many sellers in Agoura ask, “What should I fix or update before listing?” Steve Rifkin gives simple, cost-effective advice to help you get the best return on your home.

Steve recommends starting with small repairs — fresh paint, new light fixtures, and clean landscaping. These low-cost updates make a big difference in first impressions.

He also helps you decide which larger updates are worth the money. In most cases, kitchens and bathrooms offer the best returns, but not every home needs a full remodel. Steve helps you avoid spending money where you don’t need to.

He also suggests decluttering and professional cleaning. A clean, bright home helps buyers see themselves living there.

With Steve Rifkin, you’ll know exactly which improvements will help your home shine in the Agoura market.
