Home Renovation Guide
Every year, hundreds of thousands of homes of every style, shape and size are bought and sold across this country. In spite of all the differences, many of them have one very important thing in common: a RE/MAX Professional who is the driving force behind the transaction. RE/MAX agents buy and sell more homes in your area than anybody. When you choose RE/MAX you are choosing the combined experience we have gained from every deal we've completed. This experience and expertise ensures that you get the best possible price. When it comes to buying and selling smarter, we'll show you...
RE/MAX has done extensive research with homeowners, to better understand what makes them tick. This enables us to help you in many ways. First, knowing your preferences is invaluable when it comes to finding that perfect home. Open concept or traditional? Lofty or intimate? And when it comes to home owners, we've learned that in spite of the seemingly endless diversity in our population, there are, perhaps surprisingly, just a select few categories we all tend to fit into. So whether you're a "Social Animal" or a "Traditionalist", a "Pleasure Seeker" or a "Villager", we'll show you a space you'll want to call home.
As a home owner, you are likely to re-sell at some point and should consider the benefits of the neighborhood. Remember, choices you make regarding improvements or renovations can drastically influence your home's market value.
Our research has led to the development of a smart tool that can actually show you just what renovations generate the highest return on investment, based on the type of home you currently live in
The RE/MAX Return on Reno Index is a proprietary tool to help you get the most value out of every renovating dollar you spend. We took an exhaustive look at the various renovations people commonly do on their homes and judged their return on investment based on a variety of criteria. The findings were nothing short of enlightening. We learned "down to the dollar" what different renos deliver, but we also discovered that the relative return on investment changes based on the value of the house being sold. Have a look at these charts, which compare your return on reno, based on the value of the home being sold.

But RE/MAX has learned that landscaping the front and backyard of your home will give you a 7% better return on your renovating dollar over the average return on other popular renos you might consider. KITCHENTHE KITCHEN IS THE HUBEver wonder why "kitchen parties" naturally occur every time you have guests? Whether you're working with a contemporary kitchen or more of a country feel, stainless steel appliances continue to hold a lot of interest. In cabinetry, look at fine-grained maple, stained or natural, over the traditional heavy oak look of the past. Laminates and marble are great choices for countertops, but granite continues to be the most popular surface of all. Check out the latest fixtures in today's new, brushed nickel finishes. FIREPLACEREKINDLE YOUR PASSION FOR LIVINGNothing beats the feeling of curling up around a fire on a cold winter's night. Not to mention the comforting feeling of hearth and home that a fireplace adds to a room. BATHROOMSDISAPPEAR IN YOUR PERSONAL SPA The goal should be to create a spa-like environment in your bathroom by installing a soaker tub with relaxing jets, or perhaps a new steam shower stall.
