How to Maximize Your Homes Value

Fresh Paint: Consider a fresh coat of paint to give your home a refreshed look. The best areas to focus on are the entryway, kitchen, living room and main bedroom. 36% of sellers paint the interior before selling. Painting in light and/or neutral tones can help lighten up a space and change the overall look of a home.

New Carpet: Replace old and worn-out carpet with new, stain-resistant options to instantly elevate the appearance of your home's interior.

LVP Installation: Install Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring in high-traffic areas for a durable and stylish flooring option that appeals to potential buyers.

Handyman Updates: Upgrade outdated light fixtures, outlet covers, sink faucets and cabinet pulls with modern alternatives to enhance the overall ambiance and appeal of your home. Updating bathroom mirrors are also a great enhancement for your home.

Exterior Cleanup: Enhance curb appeal by tidying up your homes exterior. Fresh landscaping and flowers in beds or in pots also enhance your home’s first impression. Trim trees and bushes, tidy up flower beds, remove dead leaves from plants, clear out cobwebs from nooks near the entrance.

Pressure Washing: Give your home's exterior a deep clean by pressure washing the siding, driveway, deck and sidewalks to remove dirt, grime, and mold buildup.
