Tip # 7
The more you put in, the more you can ask
This is a very simple equation….and logic.
Let’s say you buy a plain glass vase for $5. You buy $5
worth of glass painting supplies and paint the vase making it look absolutely
beautiful. Taking into account labor time, you can sell that glass vase for
$20. Making a decent, $10 profit.
Same goes for your home! Don’t be lazy about re-painting all
the walls, upgrading the floors and counter tops, and re-carpeting. Remember
how much money you put in, and you can easily include that into your selling
price.
Typically when clients ask me how they could increase the
“value” of their home, I always tell them to do an upgrade. Even simple tasks,
such as planting special flowers into your garden increases your home’s equity.
