Our real estate agents at Badger Peabody & Smith Realty understand the power of these images and are here to help you make your home look its best.

These spaces are typically where most photos are taken due to their importance in a buyer's decision-making process.

Here are a few do's and don'ts for timing your pre-sale renovations.

• DON'T: Remodel the Kitchen. It may seem like a brand-new kitchen would be a selling point for a home, but it can often be the opposite. Different people have different wants and needs in the kitchen, so what you decide to put in may not be what they're looking for. Plus, many new homeowners enjoy doing their own kitchen remodeling to take the space and make it their own.
