A Sweet Surprise from the Arneson Romo Kitchen

When we’re not showing homes, we’re testing out recipes in the kitchens and this one passed with flying colors. We recently made a Lemon Blueberry Cake with Lemon Buttercream, and to our surprise (and the dogs’ delight), it was a total hit.

 Ingredients include: all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, unsalted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, lemon juice, buttermilk, and plenty of fresh blueberries. The buttercream is rich with butter, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest.

 And here’s a sweet real estate truth: the kitchen is often the heart of the home and one of the biggest make-or-break factors in a sale. Buyers pay attention to layout, updates, and flow. A beautiful, functional kitchen can set your home apart and boost its value.

According to the National Association of REALTORS®’ Remodeling Impact Report, kitchen upgrades are among the top projects that appeal to buyers and can significantly increase a home’s resale value. In fact, a kitchen renovation can recover up to 75% of its cost upon resale, making it a worthwhile investment for homeowners considering selling.

Thinking about selling? We’d love to come take a look at your kitchen—and share a few tips on what today’s buyers are really looking for.

 At Arneson Romo, we believe every amazing recipe deserves a beautiful kitchen. Let us help you find (or sell) the perfect one. Just like there's a skilled baker behind every delectable dessert, there's a knowledgeable realtor behind every successful home sale. Don't trust your most valuable asset to just anyone, work with a team who that knows how to make homes (and kitchens) irresistible.
