Remodeling Choices

I have found that many clients began thinking about selling their houses 90-180 days before they ever called me to market their home. Part of that process includes deciding what home improvement projects will be necessary to get their home ready to market. These projects have become even more costly in recent years and it certainly pays to do some research ahead of time.

The National Association of Realtors publishes the remodeling cost vs. value report each year. Below is the link for 2006 data for our region.

Check it out to find out more about which projects you will recoup the most from by clicking the link below. I will also add this link to my "links list"!

As always, I have a list of service providers whom I am happy to refer should you need them!

Lots of Links

Check out my blog's "links" list for web links to many Nashville, Tennessee and Regional web sites that can put you in touch! I've updated this list to provide better access to information for Relocating Clients as well as Local Clients who just need to know where to find information. (To view my full blog page, click the link at the very bottom of this message, then look below my photo for the links list).

Especially helpful is the http://www.tennessee.gov/ site which has links for everything from renewing your drivers license to property tax information!

Also check out http://www.everydayisprecious.com/ to sign an electronic petition to qualify my friends' Marcy and Rob Payne for a home re-do from the "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" TV show! Marcy has ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), and they could really use some updates to make their Williamson County home more accessible. Please take a moment to register!

Happy clicking!
