Peninsula Sotheby’s The #1 place you can add value in a house is the kitchen. The kitchen is the heart and soul of a home, and there is no substitute for an impeccably designed and constructed kitchen space. As a Realtor, I consistently see buyers fall in love with a house while having only truly seen the kittchen. To them, the rest of the house is ancillary.

South Bay Brokers A well-maintained home adds value. For example, an older home can add value by replacing some important operating system items that are past their service life, such as the roof and furnace.

Coldwell Banker Previews International Spring cleaning! Most houses we see have much more furniture and “stuff” than is used or needed—it detracts from the home and actually makes the house less comfortable to be in.

NW Real Estate Brokers Paint. I see homes before they are listed and after, and every time a fresh paint job always appeals to the buyers. Use catalogues where you can steal ideas for the latest trends in colors for inside and exterior.

RE/MAX Estate Properties Landscaping and curb appeal give the first impression a buyer will have of your home. When your home is inviting from the minute they drive up, it automatically adds value and extends the desirability of your home. Just like window shopping, you want to catch someone’s attention so that they come inside. First impressions do last.
