Affordable Upgrades Taylor Spellman Recommends For A Huge ROI

If you're someone who is planning on selling their home soon, you're probably hoping to sell it for the best price possible. This can be especially stressful if you're planning on putting your home up for sale in a matter of days or a few weeks. If you're finding it difficult to think of some quick and affordable home upgrades, Taylor Spellman may be the person to turn to for advice, according to Realtor. She has been seen on several real estate related shows, such as "Yours, Mine or Ours," "Million Dollar Listing New York," and "One Week to Sell," according to IMDB.

Based on her past experiences and credentials, you probably have a good chance of receiving some credible and helpful advice to get a big return on investment. You don't have to go through a major renovation, and you may be surprised at how little you'll have to spend. If this sounds like beneficial information to you, then take a look at Spellman's best tips.

Tidy up the outside

First things first, take a look outside. In a previous project, Spellman told a family to trim their hedges so that their front door was visible, according to Realtor. So if your lawn needs some trimming or weed removal, be sure to do that before putting your home up for sale. It's also important to ensure the entrance is inviting to buyers. Spellman placed a bench at the entrance to make the home feel more welcoming.

There are also other simple tactics to create a pleasant entryway. The Torgerson Team says you can choose a fun color to paint on your front door. They suggest yellow, teal, or light blue to make your entry more appealing, or a red or dark blue for a more classic look. Another tactic is to light the walkway up to your front porch. Lighting other beautiful features like a garden bed will also make your home more attractive during the night.

Simple updates

Interior designers are usually fans of maintaining a home's integrity, but there are some design features that just have to go. In the same project, Spellman was confronted with two tragedies; a blue carpet and a red carpet. Instead of spending thousands to install hardwood, she replaced them with a neutral, beige carpet that new home buyers can easily design around. There was also the old and dark kitchen in need of an update. There, she painted the cabinets a light green; keeping the space looking vintage and bright, and she brought in an island to expand the functionality of the space. If the top of the island isn't the same as the countertop, that's fine as long as they complement each other.

In the living room, she creatively modernized the recessed shelf — which previously had a white background and glass shelves that were a light shade of green. She did her thing and decided to paint the shelves black, and use wallpaper to cover the background with a dark green color.
