Thinking of selling your home in New Jersey? A few targeted renovations can significantly increase your selling price—and Santini Lancioni knows exactly which upgrades yield the biggest returns in today’s market.


Start with the Kitchen

The kitchen is the heart of the home—and the top driver of buyer interest. Santini advises:

  • Installing new cabinets or painting old ones

  • Adding a tile backsplash

  • Upgrading to stainless steel appliances

These simple changes can add $10K–$20K in value and help your home stand out in competitive areas like Cherry Hill and Marlton.


Bathrooms Matter More Than You Think

Replace outdated fixtures, re-grout tile, and install a modern vanity. Even a small $3,000 bathroom upgrade can raise your home's perceived value and speed up the sale.


Curb Appeal = More Showings

Don’t underestimate the power of first impressions. Painting the front door, updating landscaping, and cleaning the driveway help draw in buyers and create a welcoming vibe before they even walk in.


Flooring = ROI

Old carpet and linoleum can turn buyers away. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring is a favorite among Santini’s team because it's affordable, stylish, and adds instant equity.


Sell Faster, Sell Higher

Homes that are “move-in ready” sell faster and above asking, especially in competitive NJ towns. Santini’s team even offers contractor referrals and project management help to prepare homes for listing.
