How to Make Your House Flip Stand Out

How to Make Your House Flip Stand Out

At Bassett Homes, we do more than just remodel. We are an exclusive material supplier to flippers, rehabbers, and DIYers. Flipping a house is more than just a real estate investment—it’s a chance to turn a dated or neglected property into someone’s dream home. But in today’s competitive housing market, simply slapping on a coat of paint and updating fixtures isn’t always enough. To truly make your flip stand out—and sell faster and for more money—you need to focus on the spaces that matter most to buyers: the kitchen and the bathroom.

At Bassett Kitchen & Bath, we help local house flippers in the Lewisburg, PA area transform their properties with cost-effective, high-impact materials that look and feel high-end—without the high-end price tag. While we are known for our remodels, we also act as a supply house for anyone that is just looking to purchase materials. Here’s a few tips on how to make your house flip or rehab stand out:

1. Make the Kitchen Shine

The kitchen is often called the heart of the home—and for good reason. It’s where families gather, meals are shared, and memories are made. A stunning kitchen can make a buyer fall in love with a house instantly. We offer all the materials you need to make your project shine.

Here are our top tips:

  • Put Design First: At Bassett Kitchen & Bath, we pride ourselves in our design expertise. We understand what aesthetics have broad appeal without breaking your flipping budget. We have seen many house flippers and home rehabbers go overboard to create dream kitchens - only for the designs to have too narrow of an appeal. While you may have a specific design taste, keep in mind, it may not appeal to everyone. Take advantage of getting your kitchen design and materials at the same place with Basset Kitchen & Bath.

  • Go for Stone-Look Counters: Quartz and granite-look materials are available at a fraction of the price, and still offer durability and beauty. We have the knowledge to recommend the best options to maximize the bang for your buck.

  • Add Modern Touches: Soft-close drawers, brushed brass or matte black hardware, and subway tile backsplashes give a custom look buyers love. If your flip doesn't need a full remodel of the kitchen, we can help with some low-cost, high-impact upgrades.

2. Boost the Bathroom Appeal

Buyers are looking for bathrooms that feel like a retreat—not a renovation project. Even small upgrades can have a big impact. As with our kitchen design services, we can help recommend material options that help your budget go as far as possible, while creating a space that looks high-end.

Our team recommends:

  • Tiled Showers Over Inserts: We offer affordable tile solutions that mimic designer bathrooms—without the designer price. You don't need a full marble shower budget to achieve a beautiful shower with a mass appeal to today's home buyers.

  • Floating Vanities or Custom-Look Storage: These modern touches maximize space and make a bathroom feel more luxurious.

  • Updated Fixtures: Sleek faucets, rain showerheads, and modern lighting can elevate even a small space. Again, sometimes even a few small updates can completely change the look and feel of an outdated bathroom.

3. Focus on First Impressions

While kitchens and baths do the heavy lifting, don’t forget the basics:

  • Fresh paint in neutral tones - While there is certainly something something to be said to extravagant, unique designs, this can severely limit the audience of people that may be interested.

  • New or refinished flooring - Floors are another option that many DIY house flippers can accomplish with a relatively low impact to their budget. Modern flooring options can really provide high-end looks without breaking the bank.

  • Clean landscaping and curb appeal - Keep in mind, whether it's online or a local resident driving by, the outside of your home is most likely the first thing a potential homebuyer will see. A little bit of trimming, pruning, and cleaning can make a huge difference!

These updates help attract buyers online and in person—and they set the stage for the “wow” factor you’ve created inside.

4. Stretch Your Budget Without Sacrificing Style

At Bassett Kitchen & Bath, we specialize in creating high-end looks on house flipper-friendly budgets. Whether you’re refreshing a small powder room or reimagining an entire kitchen, we have a wide range of designs and materials to help your house flip stand out—without breaking the bank.
