What Buyers Notice Before They Ever Step Inside

Watch: Why a Worn-Out Roof Can Cost You at Closing

First Impressions Start at the Top

When it’s time to sell your home, most people focus on curb appeal—landscaping, paint, staging. But there’s one thing that carries up to a third of your home’s value:
👉 Your roof.

What Buyers (and Inspectors) Really Look For

In this quick video, our expert breaks down why your roof matters when selling your home—and how it impacts both perceived value and inspection outcomes:

🔍 Obvious signs that kill value:

  • Mismatched shingle repairs
  • Missing shingles or sagging gutters
  • Algae streaks and roof discoloration
  • Code violations or visual damage

Even if your lawn is pristine, a roof in poor shape is like “lipstick on a pig.” It drags down the overall appearance—and the offer.

How to Preserve Value and Prevent Deal Killers

  • Get a pre-listing roof inspection
  • Replace or restore faded, damaged shingles
  • Address code issues or visible wear
  • Ensure clean, uniform roof color and curb appeal

A small investment in repairs or restoration could mean thousands more at the closing table.
