Its a fact. Houses that are properly prepared for market sell for more money, period. First there is the prepping. That is cleaning, painting, new carpet as needed, lawn care, repairs, updated fixtures and the list goes on. Clean, must be mother-in-law clean, it must be Q-tip clean. Perspective home owners have too many choices today, if your home is not clean and updated it will sit and sell for less. But this is prepping, this is not home staging.
Prepping is an expectation, just like a good roof and the mechanicals being in good repair and working order. You don't get extra points for that. It is an expectation.
Staging however, is maximizing the sales potential of a property by selling and targeting the correct demographic and showing what the house could be. Staging uses placement of furniture and accessories to showcase the properties' potential and amenities. If the property is not clean and updated staging will not help.
The cost of staging can be recouped, however items that are expected cannot be. Staging typically yields about a 200% ROI (Home Gain). You can't afford to not properly prepare your largest personal investment and maximize the sales potential. . See for yourself how properly preparing your property for market will increase your odds of selling for the higest price possible. Sold in 7 days for list.

How amazing! Eliminating the pink and adding softness to the room made all the difference!
