This year we are asking for contributions to Eastway Middle School. All contributions are tax deductible. As a Realtor and someone who has renovated and resold homes in the neighborhood, I have chosen to write about my experience. The best renovations I have seen are those that were in keeping with the original architectural features of the home. Don't try to make your home like a new one, but instead, think it the project as restoring the home to its original beauty.
Details are important, such as, using original hardware and fixtures or retro new ones.
A pedestal sink works in the bath much better than a newer cabinet drop-in. Wiring, plumbing, heat and air should be updated, if necessary. Buyers have an inspector inspect the home during the contract period and any inadequate conditions will need to be corrected for the sale to close. Many smart sellers choose to have their homes inspected before offering for sale to know what needs fixing beforehand. Updating kitchens and baths are the two things that are most important to get you the maximum sales price.
