Start scrubbing. A clean house will appeal both to potential buyers as well as impress the appraiser. A professional cleaning company will give your property a thorough cleaning, leaving the home free of dust and stains. You want your kitchen and baths to absolutely sparkle.- Power wash the exterior. Just as you want a clean interior, you want a nice exterior, too. Rent a power washer and clean the exterior walls, sidewalk and drive way as well as porches, decks and wooden fence.
- Paint is perhaps the most cost effective thing you can do to boost value. New paint covers marks on the walls and gives the entire house a brand new aroma. Does the outside need painting? Put on a new coat of paint on the outside as well.
- Take care of curb appeal. Painting the exterior will brighten up your property but you need to take care of the rest of the outside as well. When a potential buyer first pulls up to the home, they want to see a well-cared for home. Mow the lawn, get rid of debris, leaves and sticks. Don’t go overboard with shrubs and rows of flowers. What might seem pretty to you might translate into outdoor maintenance to a buyer.
- Switch out the hardware in the kitchen. Installing new knobs and pulls that shine give new life to older cabinetry. Take a look at your faucets in the kitchen and baths as well.
- If there are spots on the carpet, you can try and have them professionally removed but for a bit more you can replace the carpet entirely. You know how fresh a house feels with new carpet and new paint, right?
- As you make upgrades, repairs and renovations, keep a list of what you’ve done. Real estate agents will tell their buyers what you paid for the property. If you bought it way under market due to its condition, you’ll need to document why you’re selling for more than what you paid.
- Pay for your own property inspection before listing. That way you’ll know what the buyer will see. If there are minor repairs that need to be made, make them. Don’t be surprised when the buyer counters with a new, lower offer because something was discovered you didn’t know about.
- Get rid of clutter and make for extra space. A property divided up with cabinets, furniture and other décor will make the home appear smaller.
- Change out all the light bulbs with brighter ones. New energy-efficient LED bulbs cost a little more but they reduce heat, the light is more appealing and brightens up the home. For larger rooms and entryways, consider a 100-150 watt equivalent.
Really find the style appealing. Simply presenting the info factually with a little humor & cute cartoons. RE Investing has a lot of business thinmgs to learn about and can be quite tedious reading at times. This seems very fresh, keeping it light in tone while delivering the data.
Thanks again. Must work at the job for now. Looking forward to the next part.
