FOCUS ON THESE SMALL HOME REPAIRS
What’s next? After cleaning, decluttering, and making some of the suggested upgrades and updates, it’s time to think what small repairs you can do to increase your home’s value. Here are some areas you might want to think about seriously, that will increase your home’s value: • Lighting: If you’re not very satisfied with the lighting system in your house, replace it. Keep in mind you’ll need to buy fixtures and other supplies for every room in order to make it consistent, functional, and attractive. Determine your budget and go from there. • Plumbing: Many old homes have rusty pipes and even some plumbing leakage that needs attention. Don’t leave your plumbing unchecked! Hire a professional, if needed. Your home won’t sell fast and at the price you want if you don’t care of this. 68
