Feature Highlight: Megan Bonanno on News 12 New Jersey — Simple Renovations with Maximum Return

It’s always exciting to share industry insights that help homeowners make smart, impactful decisions—and this time, those insights made it to the airwaves! I recently joined News 12 New Jersey to discuss which home renovations deliver the biggest return on investment—and the results might surprise you.
 
When people think “renovation,” they often imagine large-scale remodels or high-cost projects. But as I shared during the segment, some of the simplest updates can add the most value.
At the top of the list? Your front door.

A refreshed entryway instantly boosts curb appeal and sets the tone for the rest of the home. Whether it’s a modern color, updated hardware, or a completely new door, that first impression truly counts—and buyers feel it before they even step inside.
 
I also touched on other high-impact, lower-cost upgrades that consistently deliver strong returns:
  • Landscaping: Clean lines, fresh mulch, and seasonal plantings make a property feel well cared for and inviting.
  • Painting: A fresh coat of neutral paint brightens interiors and helps buyers envision themselves in the space.
  • Flooring: Replacing worn carpet or refinishing hardwood floors can dramatically enhance the overall look and feel of a home.
As I often tell my clients, you don’t always need a massive renovation budget to achieve a luxury-level presentation. Strategic updates, thoughtful staging, and expert marketing can elevate your home’s value and appeal—no matter the price point.
