Real estate in Guyana
In this country the act of buying and fixing real estate has
been refined to a fine art form. More and more people are making their fortunes
in the real estate market and it’s a simple truth that it can be done by
anyone. It takes a great plan and some money to invest, but if done right the
rewards can be astounding. No other area of investment has consistently shown
such a high profit margin and such a pattern of growth.
So what does it take to successfully fix & sell a home?
This depends on you. Are you a bit of a handyman? Or could you cut off your own
finger with a spoon? If you are the latter you may want to engage the services
of a contractor, it will likely save money, time and band-aids. Whether you
choose to DIY (Do It Yourself) or to hire someone to do the fixing aspect of
this there are a few things they almost all fixer-uppers will need.
Paint is the most likely of these suspects. Most older homes
have a somewhat neglected cosmetic makeup. A new coat of paint both inside and
out can take years off a homes appearance and add nicely to its value. One
place that usually needs a bit of love is the kitchen. As the highest traffic
area in any home, kitchens can deteriorate faster than any other room. If you
are looking for a quick way to increase you asking price, install all new
appliances and redo the countertops and cupboards. A modern and inviting
kitchen is a great selling point.
If you have purchased a home as a “fixer-upper” chances are
there are some aesthetic improvements that are going to be essential in terms
of the property itself. To take care of the yard bring in a landscaper to create
a new and dynamic flow for the property. New plants and flowers add a beautiful
touch to a yard and can be one of the most inviting aspects of a home. The
exterior of the home is critical as the “visual impact” can make or break a
sale. Just remember, the new asking price must justify the improvements that
you have made. So never forget to plan your improvements carefully.
