      Inside the Garage: What Do Buyers Want?

      We wanted to talk about a really important fact, in today’s real estate markets: And that is: Home buyers love garages.

      According to THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®’ 2013 Home Features Survey, 78% of home buyers– purchased a home with a garage. 78%!

      But even though garages are a big selling point, many sellers put their attention elsewhere. They might paint, and de-clutter and spruce up other parts of the house…but sometimes the garage gets – no respect. How about you? The last time you sold a home – did you really put some work into making your garage shine? Or…not?

      Tim Allen

      Let’s hear from a man known as the “Master of the garage”, Tim Allen.

      In the 1990s, the comedian rose to become one of the biggest stars in the country – thanks to his monster hit TV show, “Home Improvement.”

      And it seems we could all relate to his TV character, Tim Taylor, who condidered his garage a place of inspiration, creation, and, well, a place to be a power-wielding ape…

      For Tim Taylor, the garage was the best room in the house. It was his man space. A place to work on his hobbies, like his hot rod, and a place to add more power to everyday tools and appliances.
