The Truth About Renovations

Trying to decide to renovate, or not to renovate before selling?

Let me ask you: Look at the 2 before and after photos below. Which of the options below do you think would help the house command a higher price in the market?

In our experience, however much those renovations cost....is a probably dollar for dollar return on investment...if not more so. Not to mention the reduction in marketing time.

So...how much should you be spending to get your home ready for sale?

This is a question that we get asked daily, and like most other things the answer is "it depends."

Without seeing any one particular home its difficult to give a blanket response.

That said, EVERYONE benefits from taking an honest, fresh look at their home through the eyes of the buying public.

The very short answer that everyone can use is that carpet and paint are the 2 least expensive ways to DRAMATICALLY change the appearance of a home.

If selling a home is in your future, we strongly advise you to give us a call and set up a prelisting walk through.

This way we can help you maximize your value and take the most money from the sale.

NOT doing this will, most definitely, cost you thousands of dollars. We know, because we've shown countless homes where it is clear the listing agent didn't help the seller prep the home, and the result is a disaster.

We also have pretty much every contact you could possibly need to help you prep your home for sale, or just to stay and enjoy it.

Even if you plan on staying in your home forever, we'd still like to be a resource for you.

If you need a plumber, landscape designer, electrician, or any other service provider, please reach out to us.

We have the contacts and the relationships you need, and look forward to serving you when you need help.
