Here are a few tips when considering adding onto your home:

• Understand Your Neighborhood: It’s important to consider your neighbor if you’re thinking about renovating. What do the homes look like? Are they newly renovated or older? You don’t want to waste your money on renovating a home in an older neighborhood that doesn’t want a modern feel. A realtor can help you by painting a better picture of your neighborhood to see if your renovation is a good fit.
• Consider The Exterior First: If you’re thinking about adding another room to your home, you might want to reconsider. The exterior of the home is what people see first, and if you end up selling down the road, you’ll want it to look its best to attract buyers. Talk with one of the agents at EXIT Realty Upper Midwest to see if fixing up your home’s exterior might be financially beneficial.
• Updating The Kitchen: If the interior is what you really want to renovate, you might want to consider starting with the kitchen. This is the area in the home that people usually spend a lot of time in, and if you’re looking to sell down the road, you want it to be inviting. A neutral kitchen with upgraded, high-quality appliances is always key.
