Russ Whitney's Helpful Home Selling Tips


As you have decided to sell your house, there are better ways for you to remodel your home so as to get top dollar. These are questions that most sellers have and will usually ask your agent about. Russ Whitney asked 24 other industry experts how would you spend $5000 to best increase your home value and made a post about it. However Russ thought he would run through some of the things that he have done on his listings about various clients who have mentioned during showings.

Normally before taking the listing to market its better to look for anything inexpensive that can make a big difference.Another easy thing to that can make a big difference is light fixtures. Burnt out bulbs and old fixtures have buyers wondering how much they are going to have to spend before they can move in.

Another expense Russ says that isn't cheap but could potentially make a big difference is your front door. If you have an old door and it looks generally unappealing again this is not a super cheap fix but unless you are selling a true fixer upper or original condition home this can really be a boost in the right direction.

Another addition that can add a lot to your room without breaking the bank is to add crown molding. Now this doesn't work in all homes.Each home and room is different but crown molding with a new coat of paint could really transform the whole feel of a room.

The last item worth mentioning is flooring. Wood laminate flooring is pretty inexpensive these days and can make your home look brand new. For a lower end but good looking laminate expect to spend around $2 per square foot installed.

Russ Whitney Suggest Easy Ways Of Buying Home


Home is a reflection of one's heart and personality. The interior of a house is what captivates others says Russ Whitney. However, people nowadays do give importance to the housing society and the amenities and facilities that it has to offer. Mostly real estate groups thereby are now attracting buyers with such offers.

Russ Whitney prefer that it has been easier now than it has ever been for homeowners to rent out a room in their house, or the entire home, for a short period of time to people who come from all over the country.

Russ says there are pros and cons to renting out your home to strangers, which you should consider before taking the plunge into this income opportunity. Buying a house nowadays is considered to be a big thing and it should be considered with the recreational options that can limit each one's offers.

Though the summer is usually the time when people move to new cities. Many people purchase homes in the autumn and winter months.Staging can significantly improve the value of your home and will attract more buyers usually bringing a faster sale. Decluttering, proper plan and cleaning, is something that every seller should do when listing their home.

Decluttered home:

This can be hard throughout the fall and winter months and at the same time, the least amount of little things around the house will make your home look cleaner, which is what a buyer is looking for.

Proper plan:

Buyers plan where to put their own personal items. Seeing homemade decorations and pictures of people will make them think and picturise themselves in your home. Make sure that your decorations are classy and could be found in any home.

Clean Home:

Make sure you try your best, despite of the weather to have your home looking as clean as possible. If you are planning on traveling hire a house sitter who will keep an eye on things and make sure your home is clean for potential visitors.
