Wondering whether to expand the master bedroom or add a downstairs bath? Maybe you have a home improvement dream project but aren’t sure if it will actually increase the value of your home. Before you even think about proceeding with any project, call your local real estate professional!
Find an agent who’s familiar with homes in your specific neighborhood. Why? Because they know better than anyone which home improvement projects are worth your investment when compared to other houses around you. Here’s the best part – most agents are willing to spend an hour with you for free! They’re happy to share their expertise just to gain your goodwill that could lead to a listing later.
They can pinpoint any worthy renovations now, or warn you if a project you want to do may go too far. One thing you don’t want to do in a slow market is to over-invest in any home improvement project that won’t pay you back when you do sell.
Investing time with a real estate professional will also point you in the right direction for design tips like paint color. If you don’t plan to live for a long time in your home, think neutral colors. What about flooring? Are the trends toward hard, natural surfaces here to stay? Maybe you can’t afford to completely redo your 15-year old kitchen, but a realtor will have a thumb on the pulse of what is in demand, and can let you know what you can do to make it look more updated.
A free consultation with a real estate professional will tell you what you need to know!
