Increase Your Home Value in 3 Easy Steps

August 19, 2015

Few life-changing events are as stressful as selling your home, but you can make a few upgrades before putting it on the market to help you get a big return on investment. But what home improvements have the biggest impact? How can you be confident the projects you complete will pay you back? The following three steps are foolproof ways to make it happen.

Install Custom Closets

When homes go on the market, they have room to share a few key points and entice potential buyers to learn more. These points might include whether the house has a finished basement, stainless steel kitchen appliances and a walk-in master bedroom closet.

Storage space ranks highly among sought-after home features because a common desire is to present a clean, tidy home without having to get rid of any belongings. This requires ample storage space, including custom walk-in closets.

Post a picture of a professionally designed and installed master bedroom closet system and you’ll grab immediate attention from buyers. Custom shelving and clothing rods ensure potential buyers will be able to make the most of the storage space if they make this their new home.

Install a Garage Storage System

It’s not a room you’re likely to spend hours in every day, but the garage is an important storage area. Open houses explore every space, including the garage, and having custom garage cabinets and shelves makes the space look larger, cleaner and more functional. Overhead storage ups the ante, as do wall racks with moveable hooks. These features make your garage seem like it should appear on the cover of a magazine.

The aesthetic improvements provided by custom garage storage systems make potential buyers happy as they picture themselves using that space to the fullest. And when it comes to selling your home, nothing increases interest like helping people envision their family living there.

Install a Home Office or Entertainment Center

Whether you work from home or not, a home office is the perfect place to be productive. It’s also a great place for the kids to work on homework. These are the kinds of thoughts that will run through potential buyers’ minds as they take in your beautiful home office and picture making it their own.

A built-in entertainment center in the living room is equally appealing. Since the family hangs out in this room more than any other, it’s important to make it a focal point when you open up your home to potential buyers. Not only is an entertainment center beautiful, but it’s also a highly functional storage space, giving you a place to hide the DVD player, DVR and game console during open houses.
