Pool decisions
Should I remove the pool before selling the home?
Separate the property-sale decision from the removal assessment. TrueNorth can discuss the physical work, access and intended yard condition. It cannot predict a sale-price increase or decide what a future buyer will prefer.

Separate the decisions
Before committing, discuss the sale strategy with your property advisers and understand what records they may need about the work. If removal proceeds, specify what happens to the surrounding deck, equipment and disturbed access route instead of assuming a lawn-ready result includes every landscape repair.
What to explain next
Explain whether the property will be listed before, during or after the work. Ask for a written scope and keep the resulting project records for your advisers. Any disclosure questions belong with the appropriate professional, not an informal statement that the pool has simply disappeared.
An example, not a completed job
Put the uncertainty into words
“We are considering removal before listing. We need to understand the physical scope and yard condition first, without assuming it will change the selling price.”
- What condition should the yard reach before listing?
- Which surrounding features stay?
- What records do your property advisers need?
Choose your next step
Use the short enquiry, or organise what you know in the optional three-step planner. You can leave uncertain details for assessment. The form does not accept attachments.
