Markets may change, but the key elements for getting homes sold remains the same: location, price, & condition.   Homes will sell in any condition, but not necessarily for the price that the seller desires. Top dollar requires top condition.
 

Given the same price for two identical homes, the home that has been staged will sell quicker and for closer to full price. 
 

As listing specialists a part of our service is to help our clients in staging their homes.   We help sellers create something special that buyers want.   With a little extra time & effort upfront, our clients are reaping the rewards when their home sells more quickly and they get to move on.
