Selling a fixer upper successfully requires honest pricing, complete disclosure, and positioning the home to attract the buyer who actually wants a project rather than the buyer who wants a turnkey home. In South Carolina and throughout Florida, fixer upper buyers fall into two main categories: investors looking for a renovation margin and owner-occupants who want to customize a home at a lower entry price. These buyers evaluate properties differently than move-in-ready buyers, and marketing to them requires a different approach. Professional photos that honestly represent the condition are more effective than trying to make the home look better than it is. Buyers who show up expecting one thing and find another cancel contracts. The pricing strategy for a fixer upper in Hernando County or South Carolina starts with the after-repair value, meaning what the home would be worth in updated condition based on comparable sales. Subtract the estimated renovation cost and a margin for the buyers time and risk, and you arrive at a realistic list price range. Sellers who insist on pricing close to updated comparable sales almost always experience extended market time, multiple price reductions, and a final sale price well below where a realistic initial price would have settled. Complete your seller disclosure accurately, note what is needed, and let the price do the work of attracting the right buyer quickly. Kevin Neely & Kaitlynd Robbins | K2 Sells

Have a great agent price it correctly to market value and allow maximum exposure to buyers looking for fixers and it can usually sell quickly.
