Sellers often ask us if they should replace things before they move - one thing in particular is the carpet. Old carpet that is out dated, worn out, or stained can leave a bad first impression on a buyer. Some sellers ask about a carpet allowance, where the seller provides a credit for the home buyer to put new carpet in their new home. We tell our sellers to go ahead and put the new carpet in the home so that new buyers get the best first impression of your home from the start.
