SQUEEZING EVERY LAST DOLLAR OUT OF YOUR HOME SALE
The “secret” to making top dollar when you sell your home isn’t really a secret at all - We’ve been “revealing” it to our clients for the last four years. But because it can involve a lot of discipline and elbow grease, many people decide to cut corners. And that’s when the price you could command begins to drop.

Do not be one of those people. During our years in professional practice, we’ve seen countless examples where well-considered, well-placed investments of time and a little money have dramatically improved the sales price and increased the speed in which a home has sold. Our report will show you how even minor home improvements can substantially improve the value and marketability of your home. In today’s economy, there are no guarantees that you will recoup what you spend to improve the value of your home. - all the more reason it’s important to pick the right investments.

But even when you don’t recoup all the money you invest to upgrade, many improvements can give you an important edge over other homes on the market. And the failure to make some improvements can leave you at a distinct disadvantage as buyers compare your home with the competition. Believe us, we’ve seen it happen time and again.

Catch ‘em at the curb
“Curb appeal” isn’t just catch real estate jargon. It recognizes the fact that many buyers form their first, and often strongest, opinions before they step out of the car.Download
Paint
It should come as no surprise that surveys show that painting the exterior of your home results in the greatest return on time and money invested when compared to other improvements done for selling purposes. Download
Landscaping
Another key first impression is made by the grounds of your home. If you can improve the attractiveness of your landscape without spending a lot of money, you can add a good 5 to 10 percent to the value of your home.Download
The Driveway
Because it’s big, dark, and usually takes up a significant portion of the property in front of your home, a driveway can affect a buyer’s first impressions.Download
Decks and patios
These can be popular additions that add value, especially with smaller homes, because they add living space. Download
The Garage
If your garage has that rough, unfinished look, consider drywall and matching switch and outlet plates. At a minimum, make sure all switches and outlets work. And give everything a good cleaning.Download
Don’t neglect the minor details
It’s often the little things that really stand out. If your mailbox is in poor shape, replace it. Varnish or repaint your door if it needs it. Download
Making the best second impression
As with the exterior, we’ve found that there are plenty of interior tricks to punch the right emotional buttons in prospective buyers.Download
