With the spring real estate market getting closer sellers are getting their homes ready to be put on the market.  I have sellers asking me if I remodel a bathroom, install new windows or a roof…How much will I get back on my investment once I sell?

Last month there was a great article in Realtor magazine that I have been sharing with sellers on Cost vs Value.  Exterior projects dominated the list.  It is all about curb appeal!
