CHAPTER 11 The Most Important Upgrades
CASE STUDY #8
In only 20 days, I sold my clients’ house for $10,000 above what they were asking. This was after another agent had unsuccessfully tried to sell it for six months! As I’m sure you’ve found in your own home searches, details really do matter when it comes to selling a home. This chapter takes a look at issues to address throughout your whole home.
STORAGE
One of the things I talked about in the previous chapter was making sure storage areas aren’t overcrowded. Storage is one of the top things buyers look for, says the National Association of Realtors®. One way to fix storage issues is to create more. If there’s space, consider building a closet, either on your own or by hiring someone else. If the room’s on the smaller side, though, it’s better to leave it as is than take away floor space. Whether or not you’re able to add closets, closet organizers are another great option to get the most storage from your space. You can buy pre-made systems or design a custom one online using Closet Maid or other similar sites. While you’re at it, look for other places to enhance storage systems, such as cabinets, linen closets, and attics.
