home improvement: Dirty house seen as a fixer upper! - 01/20/08 02:17 PM
Will the new buyer see past a dirty house? 
Answer: Probably not and the house will probably fall under the fixer up category.
When we are called to do a report for the realtor and homeowner on how to get the home ready for sale we often see a dirty home.  This doesn't  mean necessarily that the house is cluttered it can just be dirty.  We recommend that if you want to list this house you better plan to pay for an outside service to come into the home and put the sparkle back into the home.  But don't stop there make sure just like … (6 comments)

home improvement: Is STAGING a part of your marketing? - 10/13/07 01:46 PM
We can all agree that selling a house is all about the marketing efforts that the Realtor puts into the selling process.
I often speak to Realtors that don't believe in staging or really pressing the seller to do much of anything to get the home ready to sell. I don't understand why. We have so much data that shows that preparing the home and staging sells the home faster and often for more money.
