Kizzy's For Sale by Owner Selling Tip #8

Replace Interior Hardware and Doors!

• Most home buyers and appraisers look for things to be clean, well maintained and preferably new.
• Modernizing your home by taking down boring looking doors and old fashioned hardware and replacing them with new, modern looking ones, is a relatively cheap way of increasing the visual value of your home.
• DONT BE LAZY! -- Be sure to paint the doors (when necessary). Replacing old doors with just plain wood doors would defeat the purpose of replacing them in the first place, you want this to be an improvement
• Don't forget your cabinets either. Replacing cabinet doors and/or hardware is a great alternative to replacing all the cabinets, and most of the time, this small upgrade is just what the doctor ordered.
• The cost of interior doors should cost no more then $95, and the can bring some new character of elegance to your home. This whole project can be completed for roughly $1,000.

Follow all these suggestions during your renovation and you should increase the value of your home by a significant amount.

Home Buyers Tip (Tip 1)

Welcome to our Real Estate Blog. This blog is being written to help those Buying/Selling/Renting or anything having to do with Real Estate. Today we will start with some tips for sellers.

Here is a very important factor to consider when deciding which house to buy. Location, Location, Location. I know you have heard it so many times, but this is very true with real estate.

Let's pretend for example you buy a really nice house in a bad town or street. Odds are that house will have more trouble holding its value than an average house in a great town.

When considering a home to buy, look at the schools, crime and you would probably be well served to have the real estate records pulled to see that house's value as well as neighboring houses value. I find it helpful to do a lot of research on the area of your real estate in addition to the real estate itself.

Keep these simple tips in mind when buying a new property. Good Luck!

Good Luck! To all parties involved in the selling and buying of real estate, feel free to list your home on Kizzy.com free of charge. We look forward to you comments.
