You know, when a seller wants to upgrade their home, a buyer wants to come in and see everything that’s pristine.
And one of the things that sellers do, and I’ve always advised them to do, is if they have a den, okay.
For example, and there’s an old rug there, we’ll take up the old rug.
Say your den is 10 by 15. That’s 150 square feet. That’s all.
Go to the big box scores.
Pick out a nice...
Laminate or better yet, a nice finished hardwood.
So if you’re talking $5 a square foot, that’s really $750.
And when a buyer comes in and sees it, they’re going to be astonished.
What about who’s going to put it down?
Well, actually, plenty of carpenters will come in and they’ll just charge you for a room.
Meaning —→ they’ll just charge you a square foot.
So they may even charge you that $5.
So now you’re into the room, $1,500, and you will get that back many times over because when the buyer comes in and sees that pristine floor, it makes such a difference.
This particular house, it was a foreclosure and there was no kitchen floor.
It was just ripped up linoleum.
So the contractors put down a oak wood floor to match the rest of the house and now it has to be stained yes
That’s a little bit more expensive ,but look at the pre-finish you’ll have many many options and it’ll make a great difference in your home and that’s my point .
