Thinking about updating or selling your Chicago home, but not sure where to start. Evaluate your home. Decide what needs to be repaired or replaced with the help of a real estate professional. Once you’ve determined what you would like to do, consider what should be hired out and what you may be able to do yourself.

Home owners can brighten their kitchens inexpensively by stripping and re-staining or painting existing cabinetry.
