Home Prep Equals Profit

There is one thing that all successful home sellers share in common. No, it wasn’t that they hired an awesome broker, although that certainly helps.

Here it is. When preparing to list, these sellers shifted their thinking. Their home became a house. What’s the difference? A home is full of emotional attachments. A house is a financial asset. Sellers who embrace this idea are better able to maximize their asset’s value.

Listing property features on a brochure isn’t enough. I focus on highlighting an aspirational lifestyle and creating positive buyer feelings. How? I don’t recommend major renovations. I’ll help you determine what minor repairs and staging should be done. All homes need some level of staging. It isn’t decorating; it’s strategic marketing that impacts every photo, online listing, promotional piece, and showing. That’s why I offer complimentary staging consultations and other related services.
