Don’t spend $15K to make $5K!

If you’ve ever stood in your kitchen and thought “Maybe we should redo this before we sell…” this email is for you. Shoot, I know I have this convo with myself just when I have a dinner party lol. I should probably redo that backsplash before I have people over. I kid. But you get the point.

I see it all the time. Homeowners dump thousands into upgrades, thinking they’ll get every penny back, only to find out the market doesn’t agree. New Roof doesn’t equal 20K in a buyers eyes. Is it just called maintenance or does that mean no sale because the buyer can't get insurance? 

They spend $20K on a bathroom reno that buyers still want to gut.  

They put in new LVP when we could have just resurfaced the scuffy hardwood floors.

Or worse… they blow the budget on updates (recommended by a contractor with no vision) that buyers could care less about and they don’t even move the needle on value.

Here’s the smarter play you may not know is available to you.

Let me walk through the house with you before you spend a dime.

No pressure to list, no awkward “ so are you ready to sell?” moment. Just a real strategy based on what your home actually needs (and what it doesn’t). Think of it as a just in case walk through.

Sometimes a few strategic changes are all it takes. Other times? Doing nothing is the best call.

Thinking about selling now, next year, or “maybe someday”? Let’s make sure the money you put in actually pays you back.

Just call one of us and we’ll set it up.
