Give your bathroom a facelift with these 3 quick tips

August 17, 2017

Give your bathroom a facelift.

Are you getting ready to sell your home? As soon as your listing goes live you’ll begin entertaining potential buyers who will be inspecting your home from top to bottom to ensure it meets their needs perfectly. Your kitchen and baths will be a key area of focus and you might be surprised to learn that the look and feel of these small rooms can make or break a sale.

Here are three quick tips for renovating or upgrading your bathrooms to freshen up their look before potential buyers start viewing your home.

Clean Your Bathroom out and Start Fresh:

Take a close look at your bathrooms. Is there wallpaper on the walls? Are sinks and faucets outdated or stained? Does the bathtub have cracks or chips? Is there discoloration in the tiles or grout? If your bathroom hasn’t been renovated in the recent years, there’s a good chance that the entire room needs a top-to-bottom overhaul. Clean all the fixtures, materials, cabinets and even that dated flooring and start from scratch.

Choose Your Color Palette Wisely

Have a neutral color palette in mind. Does the bathroom receive some sort of direct sunlight? Is there a skylight or a window in the room? Is there a color theme in other rooms in the house that you’ll need to match up with? Having some color ideas in mind will greatly assist with painting and adding shower curtains, mats, towels and more.

Don’t Skimp on Fixtures and Accessories

If you’re selling the home, you’re likely to recoup some or all of the costs of your bathroom renovations in the form of a bump in your selling price. Don’t buy cheap faucets or fixtures as buyers will be looking closely and they’ll want to ensure they’re buying a home that has quality building materials used throughout. If you’re going to upgrade your bathrooms, use materials that are high-quality but avoid anything too luxurious unless it fits with the rest of the decor.

Breathing some new life in to your bathrooms won’t break the bank, but it could help secure your home sale.

TESTIMONIALS

"Russ is an incredible professional and I cannot think of a single area of expertise he wasn’t abreast of. Every question was answered promptly, accurately and pleasantly. He knows his market, he knows the industry and he knows people. He’s able to meet people on their level without being condescending. I would, and have, recommended Russ to others who are looking for a good and trustworthy Realtor."
- R.S., Green Valley, AZ
"100% full service. Russ walked us through each step making sure we understood the process. He was very patient with us when we fumbled a bit with DocuSign. Russ was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend him. There’s really not a lot more we can say except that the purchase of our condo went so fast and smoothly… all due to Russ!"
- S.H., Green Valley AZ
"My wife and I are now living in a home we saw in person for the first time a few days ago, in fact just an hour before we signed the closing documents. That’s the kind of trust we have in Russ Fortuno. As a buyer’s agent, you could not ask for more. He listened carefully to what my wife and I had in mind and then repeatedly, told us why we wouldn’t be happy with homes we were interested in… until we asked him to take a look at the home we eventually purchased. He went above and beyond what was expected and was always available to answer our questions throughout the process in a very timely manner. I’m not sure I’ve ever experienced service like we received from Russ. I would highly recommend Russ if you are buying a home, especially if you’re not local and you need someone you can count on to look out for your best interests."
