Selling a home "as is"

No realtor worth their weight in salt would say don’t put in wood floors if the flooring needs to be replaced. They may say don’t put it in the bedroom, but they would never say not to in other areas.

Again, it’s “know your area.” I was told by not just one reputable, successful realtor that putting wood floors in our house would not be cost effective on resale because the rooms are just too small. It wouldn’t add enough to the resale value to cover the cost of the hardwood. (Of course, we’re going to do it anyway because we want it, not to sell.)
