    Five Home Improvements that Really Pay!

    February 22, 2022 /

    Not all home improvement projects are created equal. Some home renovations are more "equal" than others, and that is especially true when looking for improvements and renovations which are going to effect your bottom line when putting them on the market for sale. When considering doing a home improvement or home renovation, consider what kind of return on investment that specific renovation will return. The project you are thinking about doing may not add as much value as you think it will when it comes time to sell. Check out the chart above for five home renovations and home improvements that really pay off!

“Rhonda has been the biggest blessing…”

Rhonda has been the biggest blessing. My husband and I were first time home-buyers in Portland, OR, and she answered all of our incessant questions with patience and enthusiasm at all hours of the day. She is spunky, humorous, and so easy to be around. She was eager to help us at the drop of the hat throughout this journey. Her expertise put us at ease, and it was easy to trust her to take care of us and advocate for us. We got an amazing house and with her help, everything went smoothly. I can't recommend her enough! She really is the best of the best, and anyone would be honored to have Rhonda as their agent! :)

Rhonda Spencer is nothing short of amazing!

"We worked with Rhonda to buy our first home and she was so awesome throughout the entire process. To say she was on top of everything would be an understatement. She was helpful, knowledgeable, organized, and always available. Most importantly, she worked tirelessly to make sure we were getting what we wanted and what was best for us. If you want an agent that will truly go the extra mile for you and make your experience the best it can be, I highly recommend Rhonda Spencer."

“Her guidance for making a strong offer in a tough market was stellar.”

"Rhonda is fantastic- not only is she responsive to my multiple texts/emails about properties, but she is extremely knowledgeable about Portland, properties, various home characteristics (foundation material, electric, etc etc). Her knowledge helped guide me to a quality home. Additionally, her guidance for making a strong offer in a tough market was stellar. If you’re looking to buy a home, you need Rhonda! As a bonus, she’s a charming, sweet and lovable person who is always cheerful and smiling. Who doesn’t want that when under the stress of buying a new home?!"
