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 Are sinks and faucets outdated or stained?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 helped us make our retirement dream a reality. We met Russ in July of 2018 when we made our first house hunting trip to Green Valley, AZ. He listened carefully to what we were looking for in a home and presented us with a list of houses that met our criteria. He helped us through two failed sales on our ou-of-state home, and when our home sold after five months on the market Russ was ready to help us with our home purchase in AZ. He stayed on top of all the important dates, provided us with a wealth of information about the area and links to all the required utilities. Moving is very stressful but Russ took a lot of the stress away with his commitment to quality customer service."
- C. G., Green Valley AZ
"Honest with facts and straight forward with helpful guidance. Our purchase was long distance in nature. It is important to work with someone, like Russ, you can trust."
- J.N., Green Valley AZ
"Russ was a pleasure to work with. Being we’re in Seattle and buying in Green Valley, Arizona, Russ made the process very easy and comfortable. The transaction, with the help of Russ, went smoothly and without any hitches. He was quick to respond with any concerns or questions. I would recommend him for your real estate needs without hesitation. Having first hand knowledge of Green Valley was a bonus for us."
