Jewell, you're spot on about focusing on a property's weakest areas. Small improvements there make a big difference!

Kitchens and bathrooms are always a good bet, but think beyond the basics. A fresh coat of paint in a modern neutral color and updated lighting can really elevate those spaces.

Adding a deck or patio can be a great way to increase usable living space and boost value. And don't underestimate the power of a strong first impression – a well-maintained exterior with a fresh paint job is key.

Just remember, even with the best upgrades, color choices matter. Stick with classic neutrals to appeal to the widest range of buyers.

There are situations where clients touring homes immediately pass on properties due to strong or unusual color choices. For example, I've had clients walk into homes with vibrant orange kitchens or neon green bathrooms and instantly feel overwhelmed. This shock factor often leads them to question what other elements of the house may need updating, even if the paint is a relatively easy fix.
