ROI - The Return On Investment
Selling your property is a big decision and getting a 'return on investment is key!
When it comes to getting top dollar for your home, it's important to "set the stage" to maximize your return on your investment.
If you are currently living in the property that you wish to sell, it's important to declutter each room of personal items so that buyers can visualize themselves in the space. You may also want to consider making some improvements such as new paint and upgrades like the bathrooms or kitchen.
While a new paint job will be noticed, however; out of all the home improvement projects, few can provide the benefits of a bathroom remodeling project. Remodeling the bathroom is a great way to add real value to your home.
There are several things to consider before undertaking such a major project. They are:
1. Keep your eye on the ball. It is important to see the bathroom remodeling project as a whole project. Even though there are many small hurdles to tackle, it is important to see the project as a whole.
2. No remodeling project can be successful without a realistic budget. Take the time to draw up an honest budget, and try your best to stick to it.
3. Get a reliable contractor. For most people, remodeling the bathroom is not a do-it-yourself project. It is important to find a contractor who has experience with plumbing and remodeling bathrooms.
4. Get a detailed inspection of your bathroom done before you start. A good idea would be to have a plumber inspect your bathroom for leaks and other problems before you start.
5. Now is your chance to be more energy efficient. Chances are you will be able to save money in the long run by installing low-flow toilets, water-saving shower heads, and other energy-efficient fixtures.
6. Stay organized. Proper organization is essential to a successful bathroom remodeling project. Use a calendar to keep track of important deadlines, and remain organized as you go forward.
7. Draw your proposed bathroom design. If you want a larger bathtub or even a jet tub, be sure to draw it out and make sure you have enough space. There is also software where you can input your design including fixtures, furniture, flooring, and more. Either way works great.
8. Storage space is at a premium in many modern bathrooms. See if you can remodel to gain more cabinet and storage space.
9. Be sure to shop around for what you need to get the best price. The prices of the same fixtures can vary quite a bit between stores.
10. A fresh coat of paint can make a huge difference when remodeling the bathroom, but many people fail to take this important and inexpensive step.
So, before you list your home, consider what you can do to "set the stage" and add value where it's most needed. A bathroom remodel is just one room that can add much value.
