When you watch shows like Fixer Upper, the intention of “fixing the home up” is for the homeowners to love their home for years and years to come. Not all home improvement projects are for this purpose, though. Some homeowners go into home improvements with one thing in mind: selling their home in the near future. When this is the case, you should get solid advice from your REALTOR® to ensure these projects will pay for themselves in the end.

There are a handful of projects that will not only pay for themselves in the long run, but will help sell your home in Central Florida when the time comes.

Paint your house.

A fresh coat of paint can go a long way to improve the appearance and curb appeal of your home -  this goes for the interior or exterior of the home. If you’re going to give your home a facelift with a new paint job, we recommend choosing a neutral paint color. We’ve pinned some of our favorite interior neutrals on our Pinterest account. If you're in need of some inspiration, Pinterest is one of the best places to look for trends in exterior color palettes, too!

You've decided to sell your home, and the big question you've been eager to have answered is, "How much money am I going to make on the sale of my home?" But actually, the first question you should ask is, "How much do I really owe on my current home?"

Many people think the amount shown on their monthly mortgage statement provides enough information. However, while this is in the general range, it does not show the actual payoff amount because of the way interest on mortgage loans is calculated and charged.

It’s no joke. Thinking about selling your home can be intimidating. There are many factors that go into making this decision.

Before you sell your home, ask yourself these questions:

• Is my home buyer-ready?
• Can I get it sold for the price I want?
• Can I get it sold in the timeframe I want?

If you really want to sell your home in Central Florida, it can be done. You just need to get in the right frame of mind. When trying to sell you home, the most important details are the ones that are necessary to get your home sold quickly and at the best price possible.
