IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT SELLING YOUR HOME.........

Do you think your kitchen can use updating?

Kitchen remodeling sales are up significantly, according to the Kitchen & Bath Association
and it's no wonder. The kitchen is the focal point of most homes, and what most buyers are
likely to compare when they are shopping for a home today.

Here are 5, low cost kitchen re-do's, buyers will appreciate...and so will your pocketbook:

1. CABINET HARDWARE:
   Replacing cabinet hardware, such as handles, knobs and hinges, is a quick, do it yourself
   way to enhance the kitchen. A typical kitchen equates to 30 or 40 handles and knobs
   averaging $2 to $20 per knob.

2. FAUCET:
   There are inumerable options today, with spouts, pull out hoses, folding necks, auto on-offs
   etc. Top quality faucets start at about $200, but attractive, functional substitutes, can be
   obtained for less.

3. LIGHTING:
   Adding a simple LED Light under the cabinets, creates a well lit, dramatic effect, for about
   $40.

4. ORGANIZATION:
   Buyers today choose functional over elaborate, i.e. practical kitchen storage, over the door
   hooks, baskets in the pantry, drawer organizers, wall hooks for pots and pans and stackable
   shelves. Typically, all for less than $100.

5. COUNTERTOPS:
   Granite, while very desireable, is not necessary. Laminates can mimic the look of Granite
   for about half the price.

Remember this old adage...."when you are selling, treat it like a house..when you are buying
treat it like a home".
