Increasing Your Home’s Value the Most for the Least

This tip will help increase your home’s value and

get your home sold in the fastest time possible based on my

experience working with home owners who have sold their

home and feedback from home buyers that buy homes. The last

two tips will be most appropriate if you are thinking you might

sell your home within the next 1-2 years.

Painting and Carpeting

A fresh coat of paint will make a room look new and clean and new carpets will make it shine that

much more. Be sure to pick a paint color that is neutral as that will appeal to the most people. I have

seen many buyers walk into a home with rooms painted the seller’s favorite color and just walk out

because they hated it! Buyers also will always look down at the floor when they walk into a room. So

be sure that the carpets are clean, and if they are worn, consider getting them replaced. Worn or dirty

carpets and badly painted or dirty walls will make a buyer think that there are other issues with your

home even if there is not.
