EASY WAYS TO UPDATE YOUR HOME BEFORE SELLING

Updating your home before listing it in the Brainerd Lakes Area could help it sell quickly and for money. Improvements allow for eye-catching photos, which helps a property stand out on Minnesota real estate websites.

With a strategic plan for home improvement, updating a house before selling it and moving doesn’t have to be cost-prohibitive.

Easy ways to update your property:

Interior Walls
A fresh coat of paint helps cover dirty or scuffed walls. Focusing on high-visibility areas like the living room, kitchen, entry, etc., gives a great first impression.

Flooring
Refinishing wood floors, replacing linoleum or cleaning carpets can go a long way.

Curb Appeal
There are relatively painless ways to improve your home’s exterior. A new welcome mat, painting or staining fences and railings, adding flowers or even replacing the mailbox can make a difference.

Kitchen
Upgrade cabinet and drawer hardware, reface cabinets, replace faucets, add a backsplash and reface or paint your cabinets.

Light
Increasing the amount of light in your home can make it seem bigger. Brightness gives an illusion of a larger space. Leverage natural light with a few mirrors for reflection, remove heavy drapes, or update window treatments.
