HOME IMPROVEMENTS
Home Improvements that can help you sell your home should be fairly simple, smart, and affordable.
SMART. SIMPLE. AFFORDABLE.
Most buyers desire move-in-ready houses, or at least houses with a minimal amount of improvements with lower cost values. If needed, remodeled kitchens and baths can go a long way, but here we are talking about cosmetic improvements that show your home in its best light when trying to sell, to help you get top dollar for your home.
A fresh coat of paint goes a very long way, especially neutral colors so that any buyer can picture their furniture and décor looking great in the space.
PAINT WITH NEUTRALS
Heavy, layered draperies, and swags make a room seem dark, old and tired. Remove them! If you have any torn window shades, or bent mini-blinds replace them as well.
UPDATE WINDOWS TREATMENTS
The two rooms potential buyers will remember are the kitchen and bathrooms when they view homes. You want yours to be remembered for the right reasons and stand out from the rest. Give these rooms a little extra humph even if remodeling isn’t in the budget.
STYLE KITCHEN & BATHS
It’s not always possible to replace flooring whether it’s carpeting or hardwood. Make the best out of your budget and what you have.
