Liquid Equity - What changes a little bit of paint can create!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  When you are listing your photos in MLS, maybe that should be a thousand dollars! 

The before photos are from a home that was 'completely renovated' and listed by an investor.  The home was just completed and the investor was looking for an 'edge' in this market.  The first thing we noted was that the cabinets still felt dated.  The rest of the home looked fresh and new, but this area was still a sizable problem.  Paint was the cure....

The cost for this makeover?  Less than $1500 (and included the master & powder room cabinets as well).  The change will more than make up for the cost. 

While most of those of you who know me realize that I work primarily in vacant homes (as this one was) I think it is important to note that these are the kinds of changes that we should be making when staging homes.  Just adding furniture is not enough.  Our job is to create equity and value for our clients..... give the most bang for their buck!
