Here’s my advice for homeowners wanting to make renovations before selling.

One question that I’ve been getting a ton lately is, “What should I do to improve my home before I sell it?”


I try to keep things simple when renovating homes for sale. If I were your financial advisor, I wouldn’t suggest a stock that I knew would lose 20% immediately. When I recommend spending money on your home before selling, I only recommend improvements that bring you a positive return on investment.

Through that lens, here are your best home improvement projects based on ROI:

1. Cleaning

2. Decluttering

3. Painting

These are all relatively cheap to do, but they will make your home feel newer, nicer, and more expensive. 

If your home is outdated, the problem with expensive renovations is that everything needs to be updated, and the costs can really add up. If you don’t have the budget to completely remodel everything, stick to these simple suggestions.

If you have any questions about selling your home or real estate in general, don’t hesitate to reach out via phone or email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
