Remodel Vs Sell

Just recently an article was published in the Wall Street Journal, about families choosing to remodel their exsisting home instead of purchasing a new one. I think it is a splendid idea. At some point all homes need a renovation. They simply become out dated and no longer functional. My belief has always been that you cannot just move into a home, stay there for seven to ten years and never touch a light fixture or door knob. Upgrades and remodels are key to an ever changing real estate market. Without the changes, homeowners are setting themselves up for last place and often times less money. We all as buyers want more bang for our buck. Here are a few simple solutions for changes in your home. They will make you feel better about the space you live and if you ever have to sell, it will be more appealing to buyers.

Cabinets and doors - A good cleaning can sometimes be all that your cabinets need. You may also apply Watco danish oil or another oil based product. Use the oil to buff and shine the cabinets. Change the hardware. ( For those of you who do not know brass is no longer in style)

Walls - clean your walls with a water and soft soap solution. Walls get dusty too. Repaint with neutral tones. ( This does not mean beige) Add trim. Trim is very inexpensive in the Cumming Forsyth Co Ga area.Most trim projects can be completed in a weekend.

Light Fixtures, Shower and Sink Fixtures - Plastic knobs went out decades ago and so did brass. Make the changes here its almost always a must.

Tile - We have tackeled this many times in homes we have lived in. Its a medium expense project that can transform a room in a weekend. Also can make an area look very expensive.

Appliances - More costly out of all the items on this list, but most appliances opperate about 11-12 years. Be prepared to make this change before you list a home. Buyers do not want your hand me downs.

Remember a good real estate agent not only sells homes but has an extensive list of qualified individuals to help you complete any remodel. Looking to do a project? Ask us!
