Like it or not, looks (and smells) do matter. We make judgments about all kinds of things based on what we see. If your house is on the market it is competing with the other houses on the market and guess what….the best looking houses (in each price range) sell first, and for the most money. Understanding this is not rocket science. If your house is about to go on the market or already is on the market (and you are disappointed with the results you are getting) contact us. Staging is an investment that pays very well and it is always cheaper than a price reduction. Staging Matters. Call today.
