If you’re about to buy or sell a house, you’re about to get a lot of advice. You want to get this transaction right, and a lot of the well-meaning advice you’re about to get from friends, family members and even people in the real estate industry is probably wrong. What’s so tricky about bad advice in buying or selling a home is that often it sounds like good advice.

But some real estate agents say not upgrading your home is terrible advice.
