Spring is here and it’s time to spruce up your home to hit the market! While there is excitement to tackle renovation projects and find your new home, it may also seem so daunting that you’re not sure where to start. Here are a few tips from the Real Estate advisors at Sears & Syrus:

5 FACTORS IN YOUR HOME YIELD THE GREATEST RETURN:

 Master bath

 Kitchen

 Flooring

 Paint

 Fixtures

Focus on making sure these spaces and items are in top condition and show ready. A fresh coat of paint, replacing broken or dated fixtures, and a clean, wellstaged space will help you see the biggest return in a short-time.

BEING PROACTIVE IS KEY

Communicate NOW vs. later. If you hope to sell your home in the first half of the year, it is important to get plans in place sooner than later for updates. The Sears & Syrus team can help guide the process through one-on-one consultations, data analysis, strategic planning for repairs and updates, and staging assistance. Following this method will increase the likelihood of homeowners selling at the top end of the market.

“Spring is historically strong, but what most consumers do not know is the quickest speed of sale is in May but the highest return is in June,” said Lindsay Sears, realtor and broker on the Sears & Syrus team. Do the heavy lifting now and enjoy the fruits of your labor upon selling your home.

Bring In The Experts For Updates
