What Lurks Behind the Garage Door? Profit!

As the price of real estate has risen, sellers have found considerable extra value in their garage. This is prime square footage which can add to the appeal of the house and in many instances be the selling feature for a home.

Most often this is the most neglected, and underutilized area of the house. Clean and orderly garages stand out when showing a house. Often the garage is the largest room of the house and when uncluttered, leaves the imagination free to think of the myriad possibilities of how the space could be filled!

Adequate electric supply to the garage makes many hobbies possible and the space infinitely more useful. Inexpensive organizers and storage units can be filled by the buyers’ imagination, increasing the perception of storage in this home.

Cash in when you cash out by offering a great garage. Here are some tips:
* Declutter – Clear out & clean up!
* Clear the floor – and paint it!
* Add Storage – Shelves, wall systems, 2nd hand cabinets. Organize like things together.
* Add counter or work surface.
* Check door locks and garage door mechanisms.
