9 Small (But Mighty) Home Updates Agents Recommend Before Listing
Bathroom Updates
Bathrooms weren’t always a focal point for homeowners and buyers, and it shows in homes that haven’t been built or updated recently. Now, home buyers and homeowners are looking for more than just a bathroom focused solely on utility.
Bathrooms with double-sink vanities, soaker tubs, steam showers, and other spa-like features are at the top of the list for buyers. Even just updating to a neutral color scheme and reglazed the tub can increase buyer interest and modernize this essential part of the home.

Pre-Listing Bathroom Refreshes
A quick bathroom refresh is often all that’s needed to get a home market ready. From painting walls and vanities to swapping flooring and lighting, a lot can be done to make a bathroom feel like new without pulling permits.
Pre-Listing Bathroom Remodels
Sometimes bathrooms need more than cosmetic updates to be brought up to date. We take on many bathroom remodels, specifically for master bathrooms and luxury homes, to make the space feel brand new.
Past Projects with Bathroom Updates
When making a bathroom market ready, there are various updates that can be made. Sometimes pre-sale bathroom repairs and touch-ups are all the room needs. In other cases, a full-scale bathroom renovation before selling is a necessity. See for yourself.
