Luxury home sellers often wonder: Should I renovate before listing? The answer depends on your goals, timeline, and what buyers expect in today’s Coconut Grove market.

Here are my tips:

  • Minor Updates Go Far: Painting, landscaping, and hardware updates can make a big visual impact.
  • Kitchen & Bath ROI: Minor kitchen or bathroom updates typically offer the best return in luxury markets.
  • Avoid Over-Customization: Highly personalized renovations may not appeal to broad luxury buyers.
  • Pre-Listing Inspection: Discover and fix any major issues that could scare off buyers or delay closing.
  • Cost vs Value: Always weigh renovation costs against expected return based on market comps.

Not sure if renovations will pay off? I’ll walk you through cost-effective improvements that can boost your sale price. Book a seller consultation today.
