A recent study conducted by the National Center for Real Estate Research evaluated the features of a home based on what each contributes to the selling price.

According to the study, the feature that can most dramatically increase the value of a home is an additional full bathroom, upping the selling price by a remarkable 24 percent. Installing an extra half-bath can add 15 percent to the selling price. A garage, a fireplace and a central air conditioning unit each add a little more than 12 percent to the home's market value. A laundry room located on the main floor of the home increases its value by 15 percent, while a basement laundry room can potentially reduce the home's overall value. Homes with raised or vaulted ceilings sell for 6.2 percent more than identical homes with standard ceilings. Each extra bedroom increases the price by 4.1 percent. A family room adds 7.3 percent, and a dining room is worth 6.2 percent. A view of the water adds 7.8 percent, but a golf course view is better at 8.1 percent. A home built on the waterfront is worth 18 percent more than the same home in a landlocked location.

Every real estate market is different, so consult your real estate agent regarding the resale value of your home's special features.

Born and raised in Germany, I moved to the United States in 2004 and I have spent the past 6 years dedicated to the realms of real estate, specializing in regular and military relocation. My husband currently works for the army as a firefighter, but was previously enlisted, resulting in my experience in relocation. I feel that I have been directly led to this chapter of real estate due to my experiences and skill set. Being involved in relocations personally has given me a thorough understanding of the process as well as allowed me to really connect with the emotions and concerns clients may be experiencing. I've been there. I can easily step into a clients' shoes to really relate with their needs having been the client so many times in the past. Moving is hard, especially when you have a family to uproot. Working with a relocation specialist that has a vast knowledge with the areas they cover is very important. That's why I make sure to be prepared for any questions my clients may have. I am trilingual in English, German and Turkish, allowing me to work with a wider range of clients and I love it. Being able to experience different cultures and values held by clients is a definite perk for me. Knowing that I am able to have a positive impact on someone's moving experience actually means a lot to me, because I've been there. I've experience those ups and downs, those potential worries that sometimes appear. Moving can be stressful, because aside from the packing and organizing, you're leaving what's familiar to you. As a relocation specialist, I will come to the table with full confidence and knowledge to enable me to provide assistance. I strive to be the best that I can be and to leave my clients happy and comfortable. Let me show you what a relocation done right is like. Moving can be overwhelming to begin with; I want to make the difference.
