Ensure that there is appeal and functionality according to the property’s geographic location. Whether it’s storm shutters to combat the effects of blizzards and hurricanes, or high-grade insulation to withstand even the most extreme weather conditions, this consideration will drastically increase your property’s marketability. If you are located in an area that is prone to hurricanes, such as Ian, use hurricane-impact windows that can stand up to flying debris. Roofs should be secured tightly to prevent them from being pried off by the strongest gusts. Be sure that electrical systems and generators are protected by waterproof paneling and placed above basement or ground level. WEATHERPROOF YOUR PROPERTY
A simple and cost-effective way to increase the value of your property quickly is to update its interior with the latest paint and fixture trends in your area. Many buyers and investors are looking for updated interiors. A simple fix such as new paint and updated fixtures can quickly increase the value of your property to serve your clients’ interests and market value. Many companies, such as Sherwin-Williams offer their “color of the season.” Looking to new builds is also helpful to view current market trends. UPGRADE PAINT AND FIXTURES
DECLUTTER
One fantastic way to increase the value of your property immediately is to declutter. Going through closets, drawers, sheds and garages and removing excess items can save time when you list your property, and also make it more appealing to buyers/ renters. Experts say 55% of first impressions are made by what we see. Having your best foot forward from the start adds an immense amount of value as buyers or renters can imagine themselves in the de-cluttered space.
A SIMPLE FIX SUCH AS NEW PAINT AND UPDATED FIXTURES CAN QUICKLY INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR PROPERTY.
