01

Confirm permits and final inspections for completed work

Broadview Heights publishes current residential permit applications and requires inspections for permitted work, including a final inspection. Gather permits, contractor records, warranties, and final approvals for prior improvements. Before starting new work, confirm the current form, fee, inspection, and timing requirements with the Building Department.

02

Investigate drainage, sewer, and right-of-way questions early

When a property has a known drainage issue, easement question, sewer concern, or work near the public right of way, collect the available records before marketing begins. The city Engineering Department maintains certain sanitary sewer, water, road, right-of-way, and drainage-history information.

03

Prioritize condition without over-improving

Begin with known defects, active water, safety, major function, and unfinished projects. Then evaluate cleaning, maintenance, and presentation. Compare each project with its cost, delay, buyer impact, and the home's likely market position.

04

Review county records and estimated proceeds

Check the county property record, tax information, ownership, and title or payoff items that may affect closing. Build a net-proceeds estimate from stated assumptions, then update it as actual figures become available. An attorney or tax professional should address questions outside the real-estate scope.

05

Coordinate the listing with the next move

Financing, possession, contingencies, repair timing, and moving logistics should be discussed together if another purchase is part of the plan. Nicholas helps organize the sequence so the listing strategy supports the move instead of creating a second problem.

Selling a home

What should I fix before selling?

Start with safety, function, and the items most likely to interrupt a buyer’s inspection or financing. Cosmetic work should earn its place. Nicholas can help compare likely cost, buyer impact, and timing before you spend.

Selling as-is

Can I sell a home as-is?

Yes. “As-is” usually means you do not plan to make repairs, but buyers may still inspect, negotiate, or rely on financing requirements. The best route depends on condition, timing, disclosure obligations, and the terms you are willing to accept.

Can I sell and buy at the same time?

Yes. The plan may involve timing the listing, negotiating possession, using a sale contingency, arranging temporary housing, or confirming lending options. Nicholas helps coordinate the real-estate pieces with your lender and other professionals.
