A few years ago, I decided to move but I needed to do some work on my house before I could sell it. So I got to work, cleaning, repairing, painting, and renovating. When I finished, I was so dazzled by the results that I decided not to sell it. I decided that my reasons for wanting to move were bogus.

Also the mortgage rates are not what they were when you bot your place!

As a buyer, I look at electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, amount of insulation, and age of windows. I don't care if it has been painted or there are new door pulls in the kitchen. As a seller, I make sure these systems meet current codes so there are zero problems when the house is inspected. Mortgage companies are getting extremely picky in my area these days.

[@maryschlundt100]

Replacing windows would be $30k, no way you get your return on that investment

[@JerryPinkasSellYourHome]

Electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, the age of windows. This is all where the big money sits. Appreciate you taking the time to share with others here on this channel. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. See you in the next video.

[@JerryPinkasSellYourHome]

That’s a very good point windows can be super costly yet you get no return on your investment if you are a seller. But if you were a buyer and you intend to live in the home for years could make a good long-term investment, especially if you have a nice view in your backyard. Thanks for watching and commenting. See you in the next video.

Removing beautiful hardware and lighting that still works and is unique is really a crime. The majority of new light fixtures available today are really ugly

[@JerryPinkasSellYourHome]

It is a shame to take things to the dump based on style...but If you sell your home, you want maximum dollars at sale time. Look closely at what new construction homes are putting in your area! That will give you the best idea of what direction you should take with colors. Wishing you good luck with the sale of your home! Have you seen my Free Seller Checklist yet?

@@JerryPinkasSellYourHomeI would never swap out to builder grade crap. Also brass pulls aren’t dated. Modern isn’t better. Just cheaper looking.

[@deawallace3584]

Aside from cleaning everything including trash cans and windows inside and out, so that the house is move-in ready, I am changing the kitchen faucet, one ceiling fan, and the storm door of the main entrance. Will put new white rugs in the kitchen and bathroom. Slight, slight vanilla air freshener too.....works like a charm.

[@abbibrannan333]

Excellent advise, kind of a R.E. groupie/investor. My primary residence keeps going up in price and I live here. Although the place is old and needs many updates, paint, new counters, new bathroom, newer roof and new plumbing. We have 5 acres and a stream and a well and it is beautiful with a lake and park walking distance away. Hence I am loving and following your advice. I have already picked out the paint colors for the current market for my living areas and for the exterior. New paint will truly enliven and energize a 60's era abode, Thanks much, Abbi

[@JerryPinkasSellYourHome]

Sounds like you have a really nice setting at your home. A little updating and you will be up to date! Thanks for taking the time to comment here on this channel and thanks for watching! See you in the next video

[@carolpeterson5515]

Liked the advice to talk to local realtors about type of flooring most appealing to buyers in a particular area or neighborhood.

[@JerryPinkasSellYourHome]

Real estate is hyper local period. What’s happening on one part of the country may not necessarily be happening in the other. That’s why it’s super important. Always check with the local expert. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment here on this channel. See you in the next video.

[@rosemarykarlsson593]

Paintable outlet & switch plate covers, painted the same as the wall cover, gives an even better aesthetic than standard covers.

[@JerryPinkasSellYourHome]

I have not heard of this one before… But this sounds like a great idea! Thanks for sharing with everybody here on this channel. Truly appreciate you watching and commenting here. I’ll see you in the next helpful video.

[@alonelypenguin5229]

Not to be confused with "painted outlet & switch plate covers and whatever else we couldn't be arsed to tape off."

[@kathyhoskin8350]

I agree with most of what you've said. The only issue I find is keeping a home plain so you can easily sell it in the future. I want to be more creative and enjoy my home and not just look at it as an investment. You may believe this, too, but I just wanted to mention it.

[@JerryPinkasSellYourHome]

I totally agree! You must like where you live and enjoy what you have. Thanks for sharing! See you in the next video.

[@planesandbikes7353]

I also recently swapped out all the interior doors and trim to updated new-home style. I am smoothing over all the highly textured ceilings and walls one room at a time - but this is a big job, expensive to hire out and not to be underestimated.

[@JerryPinkasSellYourHome]

Thanks for sharing. I’ll bet your house looks nice now! You’re right that ceiling work does take a lot more time energy and effort to make it look right but when it’s done, it sure looks good. Thanks for watching and commenting. See you in the next video.

[@CB-vg1wq]

Great ideas. I recommend changing out ALL builder grade light fixtures and faucets. Even spending just $25 over the builder grade model will really improve the look of a home.

[@JerryPinkasSellYourHome]

That is a good point! A few extra dollars spent on upgraded light fixtures can make a home really pop and look great. Thanks for sharing with others. See you in the next video.

[@theroxannedyerart]

Lighting temperature is also important... 3500 kelvin is clean & soft, close to daylight, fresh, but not cold; my personal favourite. Excellent in entrances, kitchens, or areas where you work. Above 4000 Kelvin gets cold, feels like an office; 2000 K is warm, nice in a relaxed environment but can look dingy. Nice video, thanks.

[@regulastolz5923]

I do agree with the painting of the House , done that my self and the House sold quit quick. But you have verry sesbel tips. But lot of sellers still see the House as their home.

[@jimjimgl3]

Yep. We just got an apartment ready for rent and we replaced the outlet and light switch covers. Also painted a slightly warm white. We are planning to sell our live/work space which was gut renovated just 5 years ago. The first floor work space has two kitchens (we photograph food) and we plan to replace the stainless steel undercounter sink. This small and not too expensive change makes the kitchen seem brand new again.

[@wendi1818]

What warm white color of paint did you use please?

Over the years - I have always purchased the most dated house with good bones in a good neighborhood- then did the updates you suggested before putting it on the market at an auspicious moment. In 4 moves I’ve done very well but I fear the equation may not work anymore

[@kennixox262]

Sadly, most of the new trendy finishes and accessories people put in their homes to "sell" use items that are already dated.

No demo reno's put us on the path to FI early. Own the assets vs just brokering them.

I sometimes wonder if the prices of plumbers and electricians aren't such that it's better to remodel one's bathroom and kitchen completely than just upgrading..

Does anyone know how that vinyl flooring holds up to water? I am in a townhome in SoCal, sharing a wall with other homeowners. In the past the neighbor had a slab leak on one side and on another, his toilet leaked. Water seeped over to my side and saturated my carpet. I want to sell but the realtor recommends that vinyl flooring that looks like fake wood. I think carpet is a better idea when you share a wall. Realtor tells me that "people don't like carpet". Any advise for me?
