Question

1. what should homeowners do when preparing to sell their home?

a) hire a home inspector
b) remove all furniture and appliances
c) set a high selling price so there is room for negotiation
d) make needed repairs

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Hiring a home inspector is typically done by buyers, not sellers preparing to sell, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Removing all furniture and appliances is not a standard step; sellers may stage with furniture or negotiate on including some, so B is incorrect.
• Option C: Setting an unrealistically high price can deter buyers and is not a good strategy. A reasonable price based on market value is better, so C is incorrect.
• Option D: Making needed repairs improves the home's condition and appeal, which is a key step for sellers to get a better price and attract buyers.

Answer:

D. make needed repairs
