Your House as a Business?

I happened to be within unavoidable earshot of two men talking about bathroom remodeling. (No kidding-yes-men!)

The one man said to his friend, “My wife looked at me the other day and said that our bathroom was outdated and sould be remodeled.”

Then the man looked at his friend and said, “There’s nothing wrong with it; everything works fine–what’s the big deal? Besides, we might sell it soon anyway to downsize.”

His friend then asked, “How old is the bathroom”?

“The age of the house-1972.”

As a realtor, I really wanted to say to him–when you sell your ‘vintage 1972 house’ expect to get a 1972 sales price!

Homeowners need to realize running their house is like running a business–you need to spend money if you want to make money.
