10 FEATURES THAT ADD VALUE TO YOUR HOME

1. An updated kitchen. No need to be top-of-the-line – just contemporary, functional and in character with the neighborhood.

2. Modern bathrooms. Buyers love finding that extra bit of luxury.

3. A well-appointed master suite. Room to relax and large closets are always in demand.

4. Natural materials. Fads come and go but natural materials never get old.

5. Curb appeal. Remember what your mother taught you about first impressions.

6. A light, airy floorplan. An airy room will feel much bigger than a dark, enclosed space.

7. Quality windows. No one wants to move into a cold and drafty house.

8. Landscaping. Mature trees, manicured gardens and outdoor living spaces draw people in.

9. Plenty of storage. Too much is never enough.

10. A basement. A clean, dry basement gives buyers the option of more storage or additional living space.
