A lot of people think that if they put $20,000 into remodeling their kitchen, their home will instantly be worth an extra $30,000. Unfortunately, this isn't true, but kitchens are important when remodeling.

However, if you're repairing your home to add some extra value, you'll want to start in the front. A buyer makes a decision about a property in an average of seven seconds. Put out fresh mulch, plant seasonal plants and flowers, and even repaint your front door or purchase a new one. Buyers love seeing nice front doors. It's October, so pumpkins at the doorstep may entice some buyers.

Now let's focus on the entryway of your home, as it is where the buyers will be heading next. It's important to remember that you need to declutter your property at this point. Getting things off of your counters will make a big difference. Buyers like to see neat, clean, and organized homes. Remember to remove personal photos and thin out your bookshelves to showcase them. Don't forget to clear out your closet to show how large it is.

Another easy way to add value is to repaint your home. Painting always adds value, so go for a neutral earth tone. Not everyone likes a pink bedroom. When repainting in your home, strive for uniformity and consistency.

Cleaning your home is also a surefire way to add value to your home. I would suggest hiring a maid for a day and just relaxing. I cannot stress this enough. Clean, clean, clean! Clean homes always sell for more money.

Lighting is important too. When a buyer walks in your home they need to be able to see it. Turn on all your lights and open up all your windows. Nobody likes a dark home.

Staging is another crucial thing to do if you want to sell for a little extra money. We can actually come in and take a look at your home and suggest ways that you can make it more appealing to buyers. I even have some home staging companies that I can refer you to.
