“This is the second new home that I marketed through The Vining Group at K/W. I worked directly with Jonathan Vining on both transactions. Both properties sold and closed to two very satisfied customers both in their services and the satisfaction of the homes I built with total appreciation of the business fashion on K/W.” - Marlo Neuleib, Owner Builder
“Words cannot fully convey the appreciation I have for Alyce Vining who spearheaded the recent sale of my lakefront home. From our first encounter, she was no pressure, but very knowledgeable about the selling process, lake properties, and the market outlook. Her conversations/ texts with me throughout the process were always optimistic which made me feel any obstacle could be overcome. On numerous occasions, she went the extra mile. I have utilized realtors to buy and sell dozens of parcels of property, but she exponentially surpasses all of them with her professionalism and sincerity for the client’s best interests. She is the real deal, and I wholeheartedly recommend Alyce for your buying and selling endeavors!” - C Grubbs
“I have used The Vining Group to purchase two properties and selling one. He and his staff are very professional and hard working. Jonathan is very thoughtful and provided us with helpful recommendations which enabled us to sell our house for the price we were hoping for.” - Mark Duclos

3 EASY DIY PROJECTS THAT CAN INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME When you purchase a property you want to make it your own. Whether it be a 100year-old countryside cottage or a newly built lake home with spectacular views, there are some easy projects that you can do around your little slice of paradise that not only will make it more comfortable for you but also add value to your investment.
Project 1: Revamp your Kitchen Kitchens out of all areas of a property have been shown to have the highest Return on Investment (ROI) out of any other area on the property after renovation. This is mostly due to a kitchen on average being the most worn down place in a home because it starts to devaluate over time from the constant use of appliances, countertops, and other items, so giving your kitchen a quick revamp makes your home look more valuable, and fresh when compared to others. Some simple projects to do to give your kitchen that new refreshing look is to add fresh coats of paint on walls and cabinets, to install some new door pulls and cabinet handles, and also to update your countertops over time by looking for materials that have high-quality look but not that high-quality price tag. Project 2: Give your Bathroom a Facelift Much like kitchens, bathrooms have been proven to be a good ROI for homeowners with it being one of the top areas of a property that can add value to your home. Buyers tend to like a fresh and updated look for their bathroom spaces because if there is a leaky faucet or a rusty bathtub then it can turn them off from the home, thus decreasing its value. Some easy renovations to do for your bathroom are to upgrade fixtures such as knobs and pulls, check for leaky faucets and replace them with newer ones, or even “spot cleaning” by replacing cracked floor tiles instead of the entire floor or getting a new toilet seat. These are all surefire ways to add value to your property’s bathroom.
Project 3: Add Some Green to your Life by Improving your Landscaping Landscaping has been shown to be a critical part of increasing home values due to its connection to the curb appeal of a home. So to increase the desirability of your home there are some simple ways that you can improve your landscaping such as some trees, shrubs, and bedding plants to your property. Adding pine straw to flower beds and as landscaping ground cover. It also does not stop at greenery for your landscape. Adding aspects such as an outdoor seating area for people to relax and converse in, or outdoor lighting such as solar lights either along a path or around the greenery in your yard, is a perfect way to make your ideal home even more captivating. Making your home personalized and comfortable is an important aspect of living in or seeking to buy a new home for you and your loved ones to make memories in and with these quick and easy projects, you can achieve this dream. If you are looking for a new home to make those amazing memories please feel free to call The Vining Group, Lake Oconee’s most trusted real estate group since 2003. We would be happy to help you find the ideal home for you.
