Step 7: Planning Repairs and Improvements – Smart Updates That Add Value (Post 12/28 in the Series)

Once your home has been decluttered and staged, the next step is to assess whether any repairs or improvements are needed to maximize your home’s value and appeal.

At the Forevermore Homes Team of Coldwell Banker, we help you prioritize updates that are cost-effective, impactful, and aligned with your goals—so you can feel confident without feeling overwhelmed.

What We Look For

During this phase, we evaluate:·

  • Minor repairs that could raise red flags for buyers (e.g., leaky faucets, cracked tiles, loose railings)
  • Cosmetic updates that enhance curb appeal and interior presentation
  • Safety improvements, especially important for older adults and their families

Our Approach

We understand that time, energy, and budget are important considerations. That’s why we:·

  • Focus on low-cost, high-impact improvements
  • Provide access to trusted service providers who understand the needs of seniors
  • Offer hands-on support to coordinate repairs and keep things moving smoothly

Whether it’s refreshing landscaping, touching up paint, or replacing outdated fixtures, our goal is to help your home look its best—without adding unnecessary stress.
