When presenting your home to prospec-
tive buyers, first impressions are crucial
B
uyers begin judging your home the moment they
see it and, unless they’re looking for a house to ren-
ovate, they prefer homes that are well-maintained,
clean and clutter free. That is why home improve-
ments, particularly if they address the anticipated needs of
buyers, can boost your home’s sale ability and sale price.
Depending on your home’s condition, there are three kinds of
improvements that will impress buyers and help you sell for
top market value: renovations, upgrades and repairs, reorgani-
zation and maintenance. Along these lines, what follows are a
few proven, cost-effective ideas that will help your home look
its best so you get top market value.
Bear in mind, an experienced Realtor knows what today is
discerning buyers are looking for and can provide more ideas
that will maximize your home’s appeal. Sometimes a small
investment in time and money can give you a big edge over
your competition and generate a faster sale at a higher price.
Generally, few homeowners renovate
their homes in order to sell them be-
cause they know they will not recoup
the full cost of the renovations in the
sales price. However, in some cases
minor renovations can really improve
the overall impression of a property’s
character, quality and, as such, will
more than pay for themselves.
