From REALTOR Christina Postera
· Rip out the carpet. Today’s buyer does not want to remove wall-to-wall carpet.
· Take down wallpaper. Wallpaper is outdated and makes the home appear dated.
· Refinish the floors and add a fresh coat of paint - It will be worth the investment.
· Replace the front door and the garage doors, especially if they are facing front and center. They are the first thing that buyers notice.
· Buyers especially appreciate even minor improvements found in a kitchen or bathroom because remodeling those areas is very disruptive to everyday life compared to other areas of the house, and many of those improvements require a variety of contractors that often have to be coordinated in the right order.
· Replacing formica laminate countertops with a solid surface material such as granite or quartz makes a huge difference that buyers will notice. Scrub the kitchen cabinets clean, retouching the finish to hide wear and tear, and add new hardware to the cabinets.
· A seller will reap the benefits of even a minor bathroom remodel, such as replacing the vanity, sink and faucet, installing modern light fixtures, and replacing vinyl flooring with tiles.
