Remodeling and Renovations >Professional Advice
Before you undertake a major renovation or redecorating project, call a professional real estate agent for advice about how your plans will impact the marketability of your home. We will be glad to provide a free consultation with no obligation--even if you are not planning to make a move in the near future.
Sellers often spend a lot of money on changes that won't increase the value of their homes. They may customize their home by creating unusual room arrangements that won't work for most buyers or by adding bold wall paper that may not have wide appeal.
Overall buyer appeal should be your main consideration even when you are remodeling for your own enjoyment. You should also consider whether you could recover your expenses if you were to sell the house soon because personal circumstances or career opportunities can create unexpected changes in your housing needs.
