QUICK FIXES
Quick fixes for improving the value of your home that your agent should have told you
1. Landscaping: Too much landscaping and you waste your money, but enough to create good curb appeal is well worth it. 2. Paint: Painting is relatively inexpensive and probably the No. 1 return on investment. It makes a great first impression for a buyer to enter a freshly painted home. Keep it neutral to appeal to the largest pool of buyers. 3. Wash Your Windows: This may seem insignificant, but it is an easy do-it- yourself project, is often overlooked and helps give your house that well- kept and maintained feel. You will likely be removing your screens to provide a cleaner look and allow more light in. Store the screens for the buyer's future use. 4. Update the Hardware throughout the House: An easy do-it-yourself project that will go a long way to improving the value of your home. 5. De-clutter and Remove Personal Items: This is a common recommendation of agents and stagers. Appraisers put themselves in the shoes of a typical buyer, which will go a long way with a buyer and the appraiser. 6. Bedrooms: Do you have as many as you think you have? The bedroom count has the most impact on value. Many homeowners convert two bedrooms to one, removing doors, windows and closets required for a room to be counted as a bedroom audits.
