To remodel or not to remodel - that is the question.

This week I looked at a house to help them decide what to do before they list it next year.  On a side note - paint and carpet are by far the most beneficial things you can do to prep your house for the market.  They will get you the most bang for your buck.  I say that not seeing your house, but as a general rule, it is almost always true.  In this situation, we were focusing on their kitchen.  Remodel or not?  Let me start by saying, they did the right thing to call a professional because they want to know if it's worth the money.  Price point is under $100,000 on their house and the leeway on profit in our area is slim.  So they came to me for help.  In this particular situation, they have some unbelievable connections with people who do cabinets and counter tops.  With their connections, it is going to be worth it for them.  In most situations, I would have told them to paint the cabinets and do a new counter top and sink, but they should have the wiggle room to make it all work.  What will really make it worth it, is at a lower price point, their home will stand out from the crowd and it will help their home sell.
