Renovation........

George-
Thanks for the blog! I read it every day and I appreciate the information. We are going to be placing our home on the market and want to do some renovation. What areas are the most important?

When you're ready to spend money on a serious renovation of your home in preparation for sale, think about the home inspection. Do you think it's going to reveal some repairs that you already know about? Definitely make those repairs.

Spend the largest amount of money in the kitchen and bathroom. These are the areas of the home where people feel the most emotion. They want to picture their families gathered in the kitchen on holidays, or preparing a romantic meal. The bathroom is a place of solace and privacy - does it feel that way or is it just functional?

Fresh paint always helps! Inside and out, does your home "pop"? Have the carpets cleaned.

You can almost guarantee that the money you spend in these strategic areas will return to you in the sale price.

Enjoy your Sunday!
