There are quite a few things that can cause your home to lose value. When we list homes we look for things that will help a home sell quickly, and these are things that can and should be taken care of before listing.

1.) Make sure your home is clean, de-cluttered and de-personalized
2.) Bathrooms - make sure they're clean and every aspect of the bathroom is up-to-date
3. ) Kitchens - update appliances, cabinet colors, and anything else outdated
4.) Get rid of popcorn ceilings
5.) Maintain your home well and take care of any general repairs
6.) Ensure interior aesthetics have been neutralized
7.) Floors - repair or re-stain hardwoods, clean or replace carpets
8.) Check all windows for functionality
9.) Clean up anything that has been destroyed or damaged by pets, including odors.
10.) Curb appeal - clean up and/or repair landscaping and the exterior of the home

There are always factors to consider that are outside of your control as a homeowner, but taking care of the things that you can control will ensure you put your best foot forward when it comes to selling your home.

    Estimate on removal of popcorn ceiling in my 1510 sq ft condo:$8,500. No thanks.

    Remove popcorn ceilings before putting your house on the market? Add closet space? When you say kitchen renos give you back 70-90% - guess what gives you 100% of your money? Not doing that. These suggestions are nonsensical.

    Absolutely nothing she says has anything to do with value. All the topics discussed pertain to appeal, a completely different subject.
