With more houses on the market now, anything you can do to help your house stand out counts. Whatever you spend could pay you back big time.

* If you invest the typical $4k for mid-level staging on a $400k home, that can turn into roughly $18k in added value when you sell.

* That gives you the potential to net about $14k more at closing – about a 350% return on your investment.

* There’s an option for almost every budget, from professional staging to simple DIY updates.

Who do you open your door to? For Seller clients, we screen all potential buyers before they see your home.

* We always handle showings and never recommend that sellers do this on their own.

* We make sure that only qualified and serious buyers are allowed to visit.

* We suggest not allowing walk-up visitors to enter your home. They may be just browsing with no genuine interest.

* We handle all questions after showings from buyers and realtors ourselves, then provide feedback to the seller.

Please contact us with any questions regarding this subject. We're here to help!
