There are a lot of home selling tips out there. Some are good; some aren't. When I talk to my clients about selling their home, I always like to start with this one.

Everyone's heard the mantra: Location, Location, Location. Yeah, it's true, but what makes you house better than the one next door? Kitchens & Baths. Without a doubt, kitchens and baths sell homes!

Last year I worked with a seller who had a huge home in a great neighborhood, but the kitchens and baths were badly dated. I recommended that she put new oak facings on the cabinets plus some modern appliances to liven up the kitchen. And she added a modern pedestal sink to the master bath with marble tile and up-scale fixtures.

She put $5,000 in and got another $17,000 out!!

People are spending more and more time in their kitchens and baths. These have gone from merely functional rooms in the house to rooms of personal expression. And as home interiors have become more and more alike, kitchens and baths have become the favored way to distinguish your home from others in the neighborhood.

You don't have to spend a ton of money to get value here. Very simple projects can add thousands of dollars to the value of your home and shave weeks off the time your home is on the market.

If your home is in need of a little work, try something as simple as a new vanity with matching mirror in the master bath. Buyers will love that!

Then before you list your home, use an advanced home pricing calculator to include the value of your updated kitchens and baths in your List Price.

Listing Genius is the only home pricing calculator built for sellers that will not only calculate the real value of your home but also help you negotiate a better deal by automatically calculating all of your counter offers for you.
