Remodel R.O.I.

Steve Prescott, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Capitol Properties has been in the real estate industry for 25 years. He said he is frequently asked, “What will add the most value to my home?” Steve said, from his experience a kitchen remodel can be close to dollar for dollar in value and second, he sees bathrooms as the next highest return on investment.

Cheapest Facelift

He is also asked, what are the cheapest facelift items a seller can do for their home. He said, hands down, it’s a fresh coat of paint and cleaning. This is so simple. A coat of paint will freshen the look and smell. A thorough cleaning will make any home appear better to a potential buyer, especially if you declutter as you clean. If you do not plan to sell, but want a cheap facelift for your house these two activities will make the place feel like new.
