“Investing in your home can be a great way to improve your quality of life and the resale value of your home.”
I’m so excited to share that I was recently featured as an expert in a recent article in Martha Stewart Living! I shared my tips on how to add value to your home, and I’m thrilled to have my advice featured in such a prestigious outlet.
Investing in your home can be a great way to improve your quality of life and the resale value of your home. As a certified property manager, real estate investor, and licensed real estate broker, I advise my clients on improving their homes and making smart investments.
Here are some of my tips for adding value to your home:
- Start with the main living areas. You spend the most time in these rooms, and so will your guests, so it’s important to make them as comfortable and inviting as possible. Consider upgrading your countertops, cabinets, and lighting. These simple changes can make a big difference.
- Add a second showerhead to your primary bathroom. This is a relatively inexpensive upgrade that can provide a lot of value.
- Invest in built-ins for closets and pantries. This is a great way to organize your belongings and free up space. It can also add value to your home, as buyers are often attracted to homes with built-in storage.
If you’re considering selling your home or putting in some sweat equity for value add upgrades, check the article for helpful tips.
By following my tips, you can make your home more valuable and enjoyable for your lifestyle while building equity.
