frequently asked questions

The most effective pre-sale home improvements that attract buyers and boost property value include:

  • Painting – Fresh, neutral-colored paint makes the home look newer and more inviting.
  • Kitchen updates – Replacing cabinet hardware, upgrading countertops, or modernizing appliances.
  • Bathroom improvements – Updating fixtures, regrouting tiles, and replacing outdated vanities.
  • Curb appeal upgrades – Landscaping, power washing, and a new front door can create a great first impression.

Flooring repairs – Replacing worn-out carpet, refinishing hardwood floors, or installing new flooring.

The budget depends on the home’s condition and market expectations. Common pre-sale improvement costs:

  • Interior painting: $2,000 – $5,000
  • Minor kitchen upgrades: $2,500 – $10,000
  • Bathroom refresh: $1,500 – $7,000
  • Landscaping & curb appeal: $500 – $5,000

Flooring updates: $3,000 – $10,000

A full kitchen remodel isn’t always necessary, but small upgrades can make a big impact. Consider:

  • Updating cabinet hardware instead of full replacements.
  • Installing modern lighting to brighten the space.
  • Replacing countertops if they are outdated or damaged.
  • Deep cleaning appliances to make them look new.

If your roof is in poor condition, it’s a good idea to repair or replace it before listing. Buyers may:

  • Request a lower price if the roof needs major repairs.
  • Be hesitant if a home fails inspection due to roof damage.

Appreciate a transferable roof warranty, making your home more attractive.

If you’re on a budget, these low-cost upgrades can still increase your home’s appeal:

  • Decluttering and deep cleaning to create a more spacious look.
  • Replacing old light fixtures for a modern touch.
  • Fixing minor cosmetic issues like cracks in walls, scuffed paint, or loose doorknobs.

Installing new faucets and showerheads for an updated feel.
