SELLING SMARTER: 7 Ways to Maximize Home Appraisal
in Editorial Features, Golf Homes, MarketingPHOTO:Â Kingsmill on the James, Williamsburg VA: 2-BR river-view home sharp and ready to show.
Here are seven inexpensive and easy do-it-yourself fixes that can result in a higher home appraisal and a better closing price for your home. Courtesy of The Baltimore Sun.
1. Fix It!
Often little holes and cracks go unnoticed when preparing the house for sale. Spackle the holes and touch up any molding. Other small repairs that should not be overlooked: broken windows, cracked bathroom tiles, and leaky facets. Making these repairs not only improves your curb appeal but also protects the value of the property.
2. Eliminate the Clutter
_______________________  Doorknobs Are OutâLevered  Handles Are the New Go-To  ________________________Put your home on its best display. Organize and clean all of the rooms. Put personal items, such as family photographs, out
of sight. You want the buyers to be able to imagine themselves in the home. Eliminating clutter will make the room appear larger. A messy or cluttered room could indicate that there are hidden problems in the house.
3. Get a New Grip
Doorknobs are out, according to The Baltimore Sun. Levered door handles are the new go-to. Levered door handles have an easier grip, which is especially important for senior homebuyers.
4. Cut the Lawn
A manicured lawn will be the first thing buyers see when they arrive at your home. Consider your homeâs curb appeal and remember that first impressions count.
5. Paint, Paint, Paint
Skip glossy or vibrant colors and simply add a few coats of fresh paint in neutral tones to the outside and inside of your home. It will brighten and update your space, sending a good message to buyers.
6. Hire a Qualified Appraiser
Homeowners that are refinancing should always check that the appraiser hired by their lender is qualified. Some parties viewing your home may not accept an appraisal from a non-certified appraiser.
7. Promote Yourself
When the appraiser is in your home, point out your updates. You donât want to follow the appraiser around the house, but highlight a few of the upgrades or give a list to the appraiser. The appraiser wants as much information about the property as possible.
