How to increase property value with simple steps?

Yes, the first recommendation for older properties would be to renovate the kitchen and bathroom. But if everything seems to be in good shape, how else can you boost its value?

 

1. Clean and tidy up

A clean and organized home creates a good first impression and helps buyers see the true potential of the spaces.

2. Refresh the walls

Light and neutral colors make rooms feel more spacious and cozy.

3. Improve lighting

Replace old bulbs with new, energy-efficient ones. Add lighting to darker corners to make rooms brighter and more inviting.

4. Fix small issues

Repair leaking faucets, scratched walls, and other minor problems. These small improvements can significantly enhance the overall impression.

5. Add decorative elements

Decorative pillows, new curtains, and rugs give rooms a fresh look and create a cozier atmosphere. Simple decorations like flowers or houseplants can also brighten up the space.

6. Upgrade bathroom accessories

Replace old faucets, shower curtains, and mirrors. These are inexpensive and easy changes that can give the bathroom a fresh and modern look.

7. Rearrange room layouts

Rearranging furniture can make spaces more functional and spacious. Ensure that rooms are well-utilized and easy to move around in.

8. Take care of indoor air quality

Ventilate the rooms regularly to ensure a pleasant smell in the home. Clean and fresh air is important for buyers.

9. Organize closets and storage spaces

Tidy and organized closets show that the home has sufficient storage space. Remove excess items.

10. Use a professional real estate photographer

High-quality photos can increase the value of your property and attract more buyers. Good lighting and the right angles highlight the best features of the home.

Sales Process

1. Document Collection with Lawyer’s Assistance
(A power of attorney must be granted to the lawyer to represent you in the sales process.) The necessary documents need to be gathered, and we need copies of them.

Required documents (12) include:

2. Valuation

• On-site advantages and disadvantages
• Similar properties in the area
