“text”: “Of course, giving the house a thorough cleaning will help. But even if all the living areas of your home are as tidy as can be, they still may look cluttered or disorganized to an appraiser. If you can, store extra pieces of furniture, remove hangings from crowded walls, and generally try to look at your home the way a stranger would see it. Pay special attention to the kitchen and bathroom, not because they appeal to buyers, but because grime and dirt can look worse in those rooms than other places in the home.”,

But just because appraisers and real estate agents are professionals doesn’t mean they aren’t swayed by first impressions too. Do everything you can, winter or summer, to the exterior of your home to make it look it’s best.”,

Talk to a roof company in Toronto and they’ll tell you that you should get a new roof when you need it, not just to increase the value of your house. A fresh coat of paint and some up-to-date accessories are excellent investments.”,
