When selling a home, you want to sell for the most money in the least amount of time possible.

We get it — you want more money if you’re going to put in extra work to sell your home. So we’ve narrowed down the top 5 (realistic and quick) home improvements that give you the best boost on your home value.

Paint

A new coat of paint will refresh even the most tired home. Neutrals are great to appeal to a wide variety of potential homeowners.
The ultimate goal of painting is for people to see a blank canvas — to envision themselves living their daily lives in each space.

Kitchen Refresh

The kitchen is the heart of the home. Make sure that your kitchen makes a statement by updating light fixtures, knobs, and pulls, or even adding a fresh coat of paint on the cabinets. Any boost you do in the kitchen will help your home stand out from among the crowd.

Updated Bathrooms

Make sure that every bathroom is fresh and clean. Updating the finishes such as faucets, vanities, mirrors, and light fixtures is a great cost-effective way to make the space look and feel more updated.

Floors

Did you know you can rent a carpet cleaner from your local Lowe’s or Home Depot? If you can’t replace your carpet, cleaning them is a great way to make sure that your home is putting its best foot forward — not to mention, potential buyers will immediately notice if your home smells like pets.

Energy-Efficient Features and Windows

Buyers love investing money in a home that saves them money in the long run. Adding energy-efficient features to the home will add to the overall value.
