Real Estate UpgradesThat Make You

More Money

Replace the Front Door▪ It’s likely the door of the house you

bought has some good wear and tear.

▪ Curb appeal is huge when selling a home, and the front door is one of the most important parts of the exterior. Switching the door to something that is fitting to the house will go a long way.

Update Hardware in the Kitchen & Bathrooms▪ There’s no need to replace

cabinets unless they are falling apart. They just need to be sanded and brought back to life with a new coat of paint.

▪ Top off your freshly painted cabinets with new hardware and they will look brand new and help you make more money on your flip.

Add Beaded Board▪ If you want to add a more

formal look to the dining room, or add some style to a bathroom, all you need is some beaded board and crown molding.

▪ If you paint it to match or complement the wall, you will have a beautiful upgrade that barely costs you anything.

Upgrade Kitchen Appliances▪ The kitchen is a HUGE selling

point for any buyer, whether they use it to cook, eat, or hang out it, your buyer will want it to look nice.

▪ If your home has appliances that are 10+ years old, replace them. Consider investing a little extra in energy-efficient, stainless steel appliances. This will go a long way for potential buyers.

Replace the Siding▪ A lot of people overlook the

exterior areas of the house.▪ Making sure the exterior

looks amazing is an essential part of a flip.

▪ It can be hard choosing a new siding, so we recommend selecting a high-quality one such as vinyl or fiber-cement that is right for your budget.

Add a Flagstone and Pebble Patio▪ If you have a property without a

patio and you have to re-sod the lawn anyway, you can upgrade the backyard with this surprisingly cheap solution.

▪ Adding flagstone is a cheap DIY trick that looks great and adds a beautiful outdoor communal space for your buyers.

Don’t Replace the Whole Toilet▪ There are many houses where the

toilet is old and maybe falling apart. In those cases, you will have to replace the whole toilet.

▪ There are a lot of times when just the handle is worn, and the toilet seat isn’t perfect. You can get a new handle for as little as $5 and it gives the toilet a new look and a new life.

▪ You will save a lot of cash by saving the toilet and just replacing the seat and handle.

Give it a Fresh Coat of Paint▪ Last and most importantly, give

the whole house a new coat of fresh paint.

▪ Painting the house in all neutral tones will completely change the look and feel of a home.

▪ Buyers can easily picture themselves in a freshly painted home that isn’t distracting with obnoxious wall colors.
