Do you need to fix up your house before you sell?

Introduction

One of the biggest misconceptions sellers have? That listing with an agent means weeks of expensive repairs, dealing with contractors, and endless headaches. Companies like Opendoor have capitalized on that fear, selling the promise of certainty, convenience, and speed. And guess what? It’s worked—over 30,000 homes bought in just two years.

But here’s the truth: Many of these sellers are leaving real money on the table. They might not need to renovate to sell. They might just need access to the right buyer.

This email is so effective because it challenges the seller’s assumptions. Most believe they have to fix up their home to attract buyers, but is there a different story? Not every buyer is looking for perfect—many prioritize location, potential, and value. And with your extensive network of buyers, you can connect sellers with the right match, without forcing them into costly renovations.

Pro tip: Strengthen this email by adding a local stat on buyer demand. Show sellers that homes—even ones that need work—are still moving fast in your market. The more relevant the data, the more powerful your message.

68% of homeowners make at least one home improvement before listing their home.

But does it always pay off?

Not everyone will agree with me on this, but…

You don’t need to sink thousands of dollars into your home before you sell it, and here’s why—

Buyer demand is still strong despite frustratingly high interest rates.

In fact, homes in all conditions are selling (yes, really) because not every buyer is looking for “perfect.” A lot of buyers are looking for potential, location, and value.

Because I have a network of over 4,202 buyers, I know how to connect sellers with the right people—buyers who see past cosmetic updates and are willing to pay for the real value of a home.

So if you have a home that needs the roof repaired, or the carpet ripped up, or the 90s wallpaper finally taken down—don’t settle for one of those “instant cash offer” solutions.

Instead, let’s have a conversation: 555-555-5555.

I look forward to hearing from you,

P.S. You might be thinking, "But you're an agent, not a contractor. How do I know I can trust your advice?" Fair question. My job isn’t to push renovations—it’s to help you net the most money possible. I’ve worked with sellers in all kinds of situations, and I know what actually adds value (and what’s just a money pit). Before you commit to spending thousands, let’s talk through your options: 555-555-5555.
