What is the difference between a valuation and a real estate appraisal?
How can you increase the value of your property before selling it?
If you want to maximize the value of your property before putting it on the market, the most important thing is to focus on improvements that truly impact its appeal and selling price. But be careful! Not all renovations are profitable, and some — when poorly executed — can even slow down the sale.
💡 Our advice? Contact us before starting any work. Thanks to our real estate expertise and in-house renovation company, we can guide you toward the improvements that will genuinely add value to your property — without unnecessary expenses.
✅ High-impact improvements
- Modernizing the kitchen and bathrooms: These are the areas buyers pay the most attention to. Targeted upgrades can significantly increase the property’s appeal without exceeding your budget.
- Improving natural and artificial lighting: Painting in light tones, optimizing lighting, and decluttering can make rooms appear larger and more welcoming.
- Energy-efficient upgrades: Better insulation, a more efficient heating system, or new windows can make your property more attractive and even reduce taxation.
- Enhancing outdoor spaces: A well-maintained garden, a refreshed terrace, or a clean façade create a “wow effect” from the very first impression.
- Strategic minor improvements: Sometimes, a simple refresh (neutral paint, updated flooring) is enough to attract more buyers.
⚠️ What to avoid
DIY renovations or work done without professional guidance can lower the perceived value of your property if they don’t meet the standards expected by buyers. Poorly installed flooring, uneven paintwork, or unsuitable materials can harm the overall impression.
📞 Before making any decision, call us!
We will analyze your property together and advise you on the improvements that are truly profitable to optimize your sale. With our renovation company, we can offer tailored and professional solutions to ensure an optimal return on investment.
