Adding Value To Your Home

Tips for Sellers

If you’re selling, there are also some important considerations when it comes to appliances and adding value to your property or increasing your salability:

Match the target buyer to the appliances. You can actually turn buyers off when you put in the least expensive appliances. If you put a $400.00 dishwasher in a $750,000.00 home, it leads the buyer to wonder where else you took shortcuts in quality when they finish laughing of course. Like wise, don’t put a $5000.00 stove in a $150,000 home because you won't see any return on that money.

Be consistent -Don’t mix and match colors, especially, in the kitchen. This is extremely distracting to the buyers viewing your home. Most of the time, they’ll just stand there and try to figure out what on earth you were thinking. It makes it more difficult to see what quality and care you may have poured into your kitchen.


Clean up! If they can’t be new, they should be spotless. Let me repeat this most difficult point... If they can’t be new they should be spotless! Most importantly you have to understand who your buyers are and what they’re mostly likely going to want and need.
