In today’s 24-7 world, we all lack time. As a result, the look and feel of a house are important to Buyers. If the house feels new, clean, fresh, current, and does not need work, the audience is usually bigger and willing to pay more for the property. We believe in this so much that we stage our listings at no cost to our Sellers. The same applies to the eyes of an appraiser. Look and feel matter. When they review a home, they are assessing shelf-life. How long will this property last before it requires investing in upgrades and repairs? For this reason, we leave our staging in the home until the appraisal has taken place. Presentation matters!
