Now is a perfect time to get your home ready to sell in Kansas City, and that's what we'll be speaking about today. We'll be speaking about repairs with the highest return on your investment.

  • Paint: Fresh paint can net you a big ROI, because it's inexpensive and it can help you improve your curb appeal. We highly recommend our sellers to either freshen up their paint or repaint the entire home before selling.
  • Carpet: You can either replace it or clean it, but either way, your carpet needs to be looking new and fresh because buyers will pay extra for nicer carpet.
  • Curb Appeal: Landscaping is important, because buyers value outside spaces more than they used to. Also, a buyer usually decides if they like your property within the first 8 seconds of seeing it. 
  • Deep Cleaning: Buyers simply don't like to see dirty homes. Hiring professionals to clean your home can often bring in a big ROI.
  • Lighting and Plumbing fixtures: If your fixtures are outdated, we would recommend replacing them.
  • Major repairs: Rotting wood or aging concrete can turn buyers off, and we know contractors that can help you with these problems.
