- One of the most cost-effective things to do is likewise one of the most valuable - ridding the property of excess furniture and other accumulations. To de-clutter your property most effectively, you may perhaps like to hire a professional organizer, which you can get for under $100.
- One of your home’s biggest selling points is the kitchen. Many real-estate agents recommend focusing on improving the look for this room, but it need not be as expensive as you might think. Wood cabinets can be revived with a little cleaning and oiling with lemon. For cabinets that need more work, sand and re-stain them, after which the addition of new hardware will help them to stand out. Other kitchen improvements should include replacing worn flooring. Vinyl and tile are cheap options.
- Painting walls and trim are a great idea. Be sure to prep paint areas well by sanding and surfacing. It’s very important to select your paint wisely. Don’t be shy about paying a little extra for quality because it will pay dividends.
- Even if you have limited resources to pay a professional to do large jobs such as roofing or electrical, it’s important to avoid doing these jobs yourself. Optimize your limited resources by seeking competitive bids from at least three contractors.
