As a homeowner, it's important to know how to add value to your home. Regardless of whether you have plans to sell your home in the near future, certain home improvements can boost home value by a significant amount. To bump up your home's resale value while also making it a better place to live, here are some key tips:
Before considering any aesthetic improvements, ensure everything in your home is working properly. Issues like leaky pipes, rattling air conditioner units or flickering lights might be easy to ignore, but can be red flags for future buyers. Consider adding energy-efficient appliances and smart home technology to save money while boosting value.
Curb appeal is crucial in attracting potential buyers to your home. A tidy and aesthetically pleasing outdoor space indicates the home is well-maintained, and is also more enjoyable for you. Simple lawn care tasks like cutting grass, weeding and removing dead vegetation can take some work, but will yield massive returns.
Renovating the home is generally costlier than selling it, but certain renovations like finishing a basement or attic can make a huge difference in sale price. You might also consider projects where removing a wall could expand the usable space of a room.
Property value is based on more than just aesthetics and upgrades. However, the better you take care of your home, the better it will do in the real estate market. If you aren't sure where to begin in increasing the value of your home, consult a real estate agent for tips.
For over 11 years, I have been following my passion of helping people find their dream homes and sell them when the time is right. First time home buyers, growing families, empty nesters looking to downsize. I guide my clients every step of the way, from initial consultation through final closing. By bringing an experienced eye and a fresh approach to every situation, I work diligently with each client to smooth the process and make it as stress-free as possible.
Fair representation, respect and integrity. Clear communication and detailed coordination. A commitment to putting my clients' needs first. These are the practices and values my clients expect and enjoy.
I also work with a wide network of trusted experts in financing, legal assistance, home inspections, evaluation and interior design. Everyone has the same high expectation of providing the utmost service through close communication and coordination to get our client to the end goal of selling or moving into their dream home!
Outside of real estate, I have a deep passion for travel. My husband and I have been fortunate to explore many incredible destinations around the world, and we always look forward to planning our next adventure. I also find joy in gardening and flower arranging—my personal ‘Zen moments’—as well as reading, practicing Pilates and spending time with my family!
