Never Underestimate Curb Appeal!

by kathyregini | Comments Off on Never Underestimate Curb Appeal!

I see lots of remodeling…on the inside of a house. Many times people re do kitchens and baths, maybe rip out the wall to wall carpet and install wood floors. And all that stuff can make a house look amazing. But many times, people don’t do anything to the outside, and that’s a big mistake. Look at this before & after. They changed the roof, added three dormers, painted the brick, new windows and a new front door. Not cheap. But let’s face it…that roof made the house look hideous! Now it’s super charming and updated. ranch-home-curb-appeal-before-and-after

Rather than having a bunch of small frames of different types and colors on a table,, try this for a more artistic approach.

Kitchens Sell Houses!

by kathyregini | Comments Off on Kitchens Sell Houses!

You’re not selling your house, you’re selling your kitchen – that’s how important it is! The benefits of remodeling your kitchen are huge, and the best part is that you’ll probably get more than your money back. It may be a few thousand dollars to replace countertops, but  a buyer may knock $20,000 off the asking price if your kitchen looks dated. What’s the fastest, most inexpensive kitchen update?

Painting cabinets white, and adding new hardware is one of the biggest bangs for your buck!If it’s in your budget, upgrading to stainless steel appliances is also huge.
