If you're getting ready to sell a home, you want to get the most money you can for it. Maybe it's the perfect time to sell and the market is a seller's market. Maybe it's a buyer's market, so you need to try and get every cent you can for your place. While you may not want to change what you've done to the home to make it one, it's probably smarter to make some concessions and make the home look brand new again.
