Real Estate Pet Peeve #47: Cabinet Above the Fridge

Real Estate Pet Peeve #47: Cabinet Above the Fridge

Let’s talk about one of real estate’s most useless design features:
The Cabinet Above the Fridge.

• 🤷‍♀️ Who is reaching that? Shaquille O’Neal?
• Bonus points if it’s storing plastic Easter eggs, a 1998 crockpot, and that fondue set you used once.
• Want to impress buyers? Clear it. Paint it. Heck, stage a plant up there and call it a day.

When I walk into a listing and see that mystery cabinet collecting dust and regret, I always ask: Is it adding value… or visual clutter?

Buyers are paying attention to the details — even the ones they can’t reach. If you’re thinking about selling, I’ll help you make every inch of your home count (yes, even that awkward cabinet).

Selling in Auburn or Opelika, AL?

More often than not, that cabinet has the appliances that are used infrequently

Hi Laura- I couldn't agree more!  We have one above our fridge and I couldn't tell you what we have in it. Maybe nothing at all...which makes it totally wasted.
