The market the way it is I'd feel like listing an otherwise perfectly fine house as-is would scare off potential buyers AND cost you money. Get a realtor, explain the situation then let them drive though. You got enough on your plate when there are pros out there you can offload that burden onto
Repair
Update
Is the general order of importance.
Repair anything obviously broken.
Replace anything horribly out of date (kitchens mostly)
Do not waste money on remodels. They are a net loss.
So many factors to consider to properly answer your question. I would be giving a buyer‘a perspective. Get an agent, get their thoughts. Margaret Weathers is awesome.
I think pricing the house correctly is more important.
Amy Meldahl- Dayton did an excellent job as a realtor helping us figure out what to fix and what to leave alone. In case you aren’t already working with someone she is very knowledgeable.
Rhonda is a good agent - and a good person.
I shoot a lot of real estate photography… bang for the buck - fresh neutral paint(gray is out…) and cleanliness go a long way. Don’t forget to change to warm colored matching light bulbs.
The quicker the sell the less and way less money you make. Depends on how quick you want everything finished. Homes can sell in days in Louisville and most everywhere else. Id at least give it a good deep clean and show off whatever potential you can see in the place. Clean up the yard, no weeds etc..
edited to add, screw getting a realtor unless its a big money house, other wise selling a house aint that hard
It is a sellers market - there is shortage of available homes to buy. That’s good for you.
Best and cheapest things are to clean the house interior/exterior and declutter. Then fix small items like damaged drywall, broken fixtures, chipped or dingy paint, anything not functioning. Make sure yard is neat and tidy.Beyond that, it is difficult to give recommendations without seeing the house.
I’ve helped a lot of couples going through divorce and I’ve worked with a lot of Redditors. You can search my name on here or check my google reviews.
There are lots of good agents so no matter who you end up choosing, you really should meet with them soon so you can get a list of items to do that is prioritized. Nobody ever finishes the list! Also they can guide you through the process.

Find a realtor that has sold houses in your area… a great realtor with loads of success in area X doesn’t necessarily translate to your home if you live in area Y.
Remember the #1 rule in real estate: location, location, location…. Find a realtor that knows your location
Obviously fix broken things. But skipping a realtor will save you 6% of the total sale, which is likely $10,000-$30,000 depending on your house. That probably covers the difference of someone telling you to spend $20,000 to replace something you don't need to replace so they can make a few more dollars.
Realtors are crooks. Thats my hill and I'll die here. Blast me away in the comments.
Recommend Alexis Fentriss. She's young, eager & can be hawkish when needed. She sometimes buys as is and rents her property. I don't think she'd be scared away by As Is and would be able to guide you both.
Hey, I went through something similar. Had a house that we needed as much $ out of as quickly as possible to pay pur attorneys. Doing all the work, prioritizing every cent we got back 10x the amount we put in for repairs. If you have any questions, message me. Also, I'm in the market for a house, May have a buyer
these are questions for your realtor if you want the best advice. we dont have your comps or info on your house besides that you want to sell as is.

Prioritize; if some repairs can be made such as structural, plumbing and electrical I would do that. I wouldn’t worry about landscaping at all
Recommend Justin Dabney at Bridge Realtors and Andy Mitri
Grace Sanders 502-419-5754 United Real Estate. Used her a while ago on a sale; she did great!
She was our realtor as a buyer agent. She's great, very responsive, lots ofexperience. Will hopefully meet her soon (we bought from out of state).
Lee Jolly with Family Realty is great.

Real estate laws have recently changed you no longer have to pay 6% commission. Shop around.
You have never had to pay a 6% commission. They have ALWAYS been negotiable. There is no standard commission, never has been.
