Are you thinking about selling your Calgary home? Wondering where to start? Here are a few budget friendly ideas to help get your home sold.


We know that bathrooms sell houses .if you have a small bathroom, consider taking out your vanity and replace it with a pedestal sink. Buyers will love this modern take and it shows off your square footage.


Shower door get grimy and dell instead of spend a couple hundred dollars on replacing them get out your rubber gloves. Mix 1 part decaling liquid to 10 part water and scrub with steel wool .A little bit of elbow grease and your shower doors look new again.


When selling your house you need to make sure that each room is not to gender specific. Edit items that may be specific to one sex. Paint walls a neutral color and add accessories to match.


Update an old brick fireplace, if the bricks on the fireplace are overpowering an easy fix is to paint. Paint each brick with a rag or brush a coat at a time. Pick a color that matched the wall and your fireplace will tie in nicely instead of standing out.


Brass fireplace, an easy fix is to pick up some heat resistance paint, tape to protect from over spray, spray with steady strokes 18cm away from surface. In no time your fireplace will look modern.


Wood paneling is screaming Hello 1970. Pick up some wood filler fill the cracks between each panel after the wood fillers dries paint the room and we are back in 2010.


Fix all repairs one thing buyers do not want to see is work. Repairs left for the buyer to see mean low offers.
