Many realtors today say that the top-value home improvement project is front-door upgrade.  Return on investment is up to 130%.  Siding, roofing, landscaping and other curb-appeal improvements also rank very high in getting your home sold faster than your competition.  The inside stuff like new capet, wood flooring, paint, and de-clutter are the top items to concern yourself with in order to beat the competition. If you take away the “pain points”, the ones that you see right away, you will be one step ahead of your competitors. . Photo and Web appeal is very important. ” Web appeal” is the new “curb appeal”!!  Nine out of ten buyers search online and spend 12 weeks looking for homes.  When they finally go out to look for a home in Grand Rapids, they narrow that search to 12-16 homes.
