For Max Return, the Kitchen Rules

Ask any real estate expert what the number one upgrade with the greatest return is, and the answer will be the kitchen!

• Do a mini-remodel. Change the paint. It sounds simple, but it works! You can also paint a faux-wood finish onto your cabinets. This looks just like cherry.

• Add a splash of color with a new backsplash! New tile is attractive. Home improvement stores teach classes on this.

• Go stainless steel. The cold feel of steel is a hot ticket item for buyers. Transition your appliances as they wear out and go with a similar metallic look in your light switches.

• Make your kitchen rock with a rolling island.

• Hang a pot rack with fresh new pots, pans and a hanging wine bottle holder. With the rolling island, your kitchen will catch every buyer's eye. You can take some of these things with you to your new home.
