3 Low Cost Improvements


When you’re getting your home ready to sell, think about what you can do to set it apart from the rest. Here are three low cost improvements that will help your property stand out.

Paint:
A quality paint job can change the look of any room (you can see examples of this at HGTV.com). Adding a layer of paint can cover up nail holes and any wear they may be showing.  Keep in mind, a poor paint job will cause the value of your property to decrease, as buyers will see this as something they have to change.
For a quality paint job, contact TruNorth Painting (contact information below). Tell them Stomberg Real Estate Group referred you.

Carpet:
You may not notice the appearance of your carpet, but buyers will. Instead of replacing your carpet, get it professionally cleaned. Carpet cleaning can remove dirt, stains and odors. Clean carpet stands out among other homes.   We suggest using A New Direction Carpet Cleaning (contact information below). Tell them Stomberg Real Estate Group referred you.

Basement:
Thorough cleaning of your basement, including your utilities, can go a long way.  Remove any visible cobwebs, dust or dirt.   You do not want buyers to turn away from your property just because your furnace and water heater do not look maintained. Clean them up! Dust the basement and utilities, even wash or vacuum the floor. This could save you from losing potential buyers.
These three low cost improvements will give your property that extra push to put it on the top of a buyer’s list.
