REALTORS® are often asked, “What is the best way to show and sell a home?”  Almost every agent can tell you a story about meeting with a prospective seller who has just completed a lot of remodeling and repair work to prepare their home for the market. It can be difficult for a real estate agent to tell the seller that their renovations were not the most effective alterations to improve the marketability of their home.
 If you are considering making any improvements prior to selling your home, the best approach is to consult with your agent before you make any changes.  An experienced Realtor can provide you with information that can help you decide what kind of improvements will set the stage for a sale.  Whether it is paint and wallpaper, remodeling the bathrooms, or updating the kitchen, your agent can guide you toward “neutral” choices that can assist the buyers to imagine themselves as the new owners of your home.
