Question:Should I redo my kitchen before I sell?
One of the most important things to remember when you’re selling your home is that your house is a valuable and extremely marketable asset. To sell your home at the best possible price, always try to avoid urgency. Urgency can lead you to make rash decisions, causing stress, inconvenience and potentially financial loss. You can depend on getting a good price if you allow enough time for the sale to occur.
Even though there is usually a market filled with home buyers, it is generally understood that a home must be exposed to a wide range of potential buyers over a reasonable length of time to get the best offer.
The best thing to do when trying to sell a home is plan ahead. If you time the marketing in a way that will benefit you, you will not feel the urgency to sell. Give yourself time to make home improvements and repairs, and time to find a good agent. Then, be prepared to wait for the right buyer

December Holiday Hints
Enlist the whole family in a quick cleanup. Small children can dust, older ones can vacuum, your spouse can do the dishes, and you can tidy up and put things away. It’s amazing what you can accomplish in thirty short minutes.
• Pine needles will last longer if spritzed first with fabric sizing or spray starch. Just make sure to do this before you put the lights on.
• Nourish your Christmas tree with a mixture of 1 quart of water, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of sugar and ˝ teaspoon of liquid bleach. If you want a simpler solution, try 2 ounces of Listerine® or 1 tablespoon of maple syrup.
• Protect your door by securing a piece of weather stripping under your wreath.

Answer:
A major kitchen overhaul probably doesn’t make sense when you’re ready to sell.

But you’ll want to do all you can to make your kitchen look its best.
* Paint – A fresh coat is an easy, inexpensive way to brighten and revive any room.
*Countertops – If your countertop tile is old, grungy or outdated, how about new tile? Try to keep it neutral.
*Faucet – Update the old stainless steel faucet with a new stylish replacement.
