Joy of Downsizing will get your home ready to sell at the highest price possible.  That means we will partner with your realtor. And that means we will make the best decisions for your home. So, if you don’t have a realtor, we will refer you one. They will sell your home for the highest price. Therefore, using comparable sales of homes in your area, we will make an appropriate budget. Then, we will begin modest updates. Of course, you will select the updated materials we use. As a result, you can expect a return on your investment.

Consumer reports suggests small updates can bring 35% increase in sale price. ” Paint Is Still a Potent Upgrade” and ” If you plan to sell, don’t rip your kitchen down to the studs; a smaller investment can have serious impact. For as little as $5,000, you should be able to add a new suite of appliances, as well as a new countertop and flooring, resulting in a fresh, coordinated look. Applying a fresh coat of paint to the walls or cabinets, and updating the hardware, can also breath new life into the space.”

Selecting paint colors

We will target specific low budget updates throughout the home. Then the important areas tend to be the kitchen and bathrooms. Therefore you can expect to focus on small changes. Meaning, we won’t expect to do a complete renovation. You don’t have to break the bank to update your home to sell. You’re not trying to remodel it for the next person, you’re trying to make it appeal to a mass market with some updates.
