Adding Value To Your House

I love it when our clients and people who bought our listings send me pictures of how they have added value to their homes. I wanted to start sharing some of the things I think are good ideas and if you have something you’re proud of and would like to share please send me your photos. 

Most of the homes we sell were built before so many people could work from home. When the homes were built there were often areas that were not enclosed with doors that would be if the home was built today. For example, there is a formal dining room on one side and a sitting area on the other side. The current owners are likely using the sitting area as a home office. But today’s buyers are more likely to want a private office with doors. 

Adding doors to create a more private space for an office or in this case a multi-purpose room for kids to play or watch TV is a good idea. Although a buyer can always do something like this on their own, they often lack the creativity and typically will wildly overestimate what something like this will cost. 

Thanks to Sue and Bill for sharing this picture.
