*2003 HomeGain Survey of 2,000 real estate agents nationwide
found that
moderately priced home improvements, ranging from $80-2,800,
made in preparation
for sale actually yield the highest returns when a house is
sold.
Please
notice that while home staging is listed as the number 5
most cost effective way to prepare your home for sale, #1
(Lighten & Brighten) and #2 (Clean & Declutter) are services
that First Impressions includes in our staging packages!
That means that 3 out of 5 of the most cost effective
services are included in our full service staging packages!
Now that is added value to your clients!
