Tips for sellers: Upgrade the kitchen, downgrade the personal stuff

NEW OLEAR BANNERWhile the key to a man?s heart may be through his stomach, the key to selling a home is often through the kitchen!

Do your countertops appear outdated? How about your appliances? If you answered yes, then it?s probably a good idea to spend a few dollars for an upgrade before putting the home on the market. How do the walls look? A fresh coat of paint in a neutral color can also go a long way. Fortunately, of the money you spend to freshen up the kitchen, you?ll probably get 85 percent of it back in the sale price … not to mention the other benefit of a quicker sale.

Another tip to help sell your home more quickly is to remove a lot of your personal items ? such as family photos and heirlooms ? so that potential homebuyers can easily picture themselves living there. You may also want to enlist the help of a professional home stager for pointers on getting the full value of your home when you decide to stick the ?for sale? sign in the ground.
