What sells a home? Is it the Kitchen, the Bathroom or the Realtor?
"I do not think that this is the time to spend $50-$100, 000 on all the upgrades."
I can't believe the stories I hear about listing agents' recommendations to sellers that they remodel their home before putting it on the market to sell.
Poor advice.

What sells a home? Is it the Kitchen, the Bathroom or is it the Realtor?
Many home sellers in Los Angeles wonder what sells a home, is it the kitchen, the bathroom or is it the Realtor. Well the answer is clear as day to me it is a combination of many variables.
Many experts think that since the kitchen is the heart of the home that the kitchen sells the home. In my opinion it is a contributing factor, provided the kitchen has a great floor plan and is made into the focal point of the family room. Then the kitchen becomes the showpiece of the home and it is a large contributor to the sale of the home.
Many buyers understand that it costs a lot of time, money and planning to have a good kitchen and many buyers want an up to date kitchen but are not willing to take on this problem themselves.
The same goes for bathrooms, today’s buyers would like high-end fixtures spa, shower and sink. Now if you have lived in your home for 20 plus years and are ready to sell and you do not have an updated luxury kitchen nor luxury bathrooms. I do not think that this is the time to spend $50-$100, 000 on all the upgrades.
The most important aspect you need to focus on is not to price yourself out of the market. Hence this is when a trusted advisor comes in the form of a Realtor and gives you constructive advice. Why? Because the Realtor understands what the market place is like in your neighborhood and the Realtor wants to sell your home just as much as you do, for the most money the market can bear.
Hence you do not need to be overwhelmed, with the help and advice of your Realtor you might only have to do some minor changes, such as a fresh coat of paint and de-cluttering and hence you would save yourself a lot of time, aggravation and costs!
