Should you tackle repairs and updates before selling your home—or skip the stress and list it as-is? If you’re downsizing, this decision can feel overwhelming. In this episode, we walk you through exactly how to decide what’s worth fixing and when it’s better to leave things as-is for a faster, simpler move.

🎯 In this episode, we cover:

  • The emotional and financial crossroads of deciding what to fix
  • Common high-ROI updates vs. what buyers really care about
  • Situations where selling as-is might be your smartest move
  • How to prioritize projects without losing time, money, or sanity
  • A 5-question gut check to help you weigh what’s truly worth fixing—and what’s not
  • Examples of different downsizing approaches, from fix-and-list to selling as-is for speed or simplicity

Whether you’re hoping to maximize profit or minimize hassle, this episode will help you make a confident, informed decision that supports your next chapter—not drains you before it begins.
