Updates that Sell your Home

some affordable updates you can make to help sell your house

Make it welcoming. You can’t underestimate the importance of curb appeal. Repaint where needed, but make sure the entry waves hello from the street. Clean, weed and stage your home from the sidewalk to the shrubs to the front door. Buy pots of flowers and a fresh new welcome mat. Pressure wash that driveway and sidewalk; make sure a potential buyer isn’t already saying “no” before they even get to the front door.

Make it cool. The new neutrals are a far cry from the yellows and beiges of the Mediterranean era, ‘90s jewel tones, ‘80s pastels, and ‘70s earth tones. We know the most current paint color trends, just ask us!

Make it low-maintenance. Replace worn carpet with a high-grade laminate or luxury vinyl plank floor that looks like wood, tile or granite. Replace countertops with easy-clean quartz. Upgrade your heating and cooling with a programmable thermostat like this Nest one. Change out yellowish light bulbs with long-wearing daylight LED bulbs. Even swapping out old yellowed switch plates can breathe new life into your interiors!

Make it show-ready. If you have popcorn ceilings, have them removed. An easy update is changing out plumbing and lighting fixtures. White kitchens remain a very popular look here in Orlando; we can help you hire a company to re-paint your wood cabinets white!

Together, we can take a look at your home's condition and tell you if we think these updates are worth the small investment to get your house sold!
