Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Yes, hiring a real estate agent is worth it. Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to sell their homes by themselves, thinking that they’ll save money on the commission, but what they save on the commission, they very often pay for in frustration and concessions on the sale price. Hiring a real estate agent to handle the sale of your home not only makes the process far easier and takes the burden off of you, but most homeowners get more for their homes when going through an agent because of the marketing and salesmanship they bring to the table.

If installing board and batten fixes an issue with the home, it could increase the value, but it isn’t commonly installed for that purpose. Board and batten is an aesthetic choice and, like most aesthetic choices, will do little to raise your home’s value. That being said, certain design elements can help attract more buyers, even if your home’s price won’t see a noticeable bump. 

You should aim to have three or more bedrooms for the best resale value, and having four bedrooms is considered the gold standard. Having just two bedrooms is a functional obsolescence for larger family sizes, so a minimum of three bedrooms is ideal. Adding square footage from additional bedrooms will almost always be worthwhile, though, and can easily provide an ROI of 70%.

Adding a wine cellar, wine cave, or customized wine storage of any kind to your property can add significant value if you eventually decide to put it on the market. Even if some prospective buyers are not wine drinkers themselves, having a wine cellar or wine cave makes the property more desirable overall.

Granite countertops typically add value to your home, especially if upgrading from a less durable material or one that requires more maintenance, like concrete, wood, or laminate. Granite strikes an excellent balance between longevity and affordability, so most home buyers will see immense value in granite countertops. Plus, upgrading countertops to granite is likely to have a more significant impact on your home value than many other home improvement projects, as many buyers use the kitchens and bathrooms to judge the overall quality of the home.
