It is said in the real estate world that people decide in the first 15 seconds if they are going to buy a house or not. So it is not superfluous to invest a little in cleaning and decoration so that the first impressions do not leave anyone indifferent. Make sure that everything is tidy and in its place is key to increase the value of your home. The first impression is what counts!
The secret to increase the value of your home
«The kitchen is the mirror of the soul» or… what was that expression? One of the most valued spaces in the sale of a property is the kitchen. If you want to sell your home for more money, don’t hesitate to invest in making it look modern and innovative. Experts say that a modern kitchen can increase the value of the house between 4 and 5%.

On the other hand, we must not forget the bathrooms. There is no need for a complete renovation, but a few small touches can help a lot. A few new curtains, a faucet, a large mirror, a striking carpet, etc. They are small changes that, no matter how insignificant they may seem, change the image. You know… take a little trip to IKEA! ?
Lights, camera… and more lights!
Lighting is key. If you are going to have buyers visiting, don’t forget to have the blinds up and the curtains open to let in as much natural light as possible. If your home doesn’t have much, don’t worry. Other tricks are to change the light bulbs or use dimmers to have the light that best suits each moment.

The magic of small details to increase the value of your home
Take care of the smallest detail because any imperfection can be the fixation of your visitors. So that crooked hanger, the clock that doesn’t work and the little scratch on the dining room furniture… it’s time to fix it!
Simplicity first and foremost
Avoid rooms that only serve to store everything that «someday maybe I’ll need» and you haven’t used in the last 10 years. They give an image of chaos and cause overcrowding. So no rooms cluttered with unnecessary objects. We can understand that you don’t want to get rid of it, but put it in a drawer and make sure no one opens it.
