Stager/Real Estate Help

[Tinks]

We want to sell our house in a few years. I'd like to have someone come to our house and tell us what we need to do to our house in order to sell it(ex. what color to paint the interior). We don't want to put too much money in the house considering it really hasn't appreciated since we bought it. I'm afraid if I try to decide what needs to be done I'll spend too much money on it. I wish Designed to Sell was in Dallas because they do an awesome job getting houses ready to sell with a $2,000.00 budget. I'm not sure who I would call for this. It would need to be someone who is inexpensive. Thanks for any suggestions.

Susan Ferguson at Ebby - 972-742-2019. Will tell you EXACTLY what you need to do (nicely, but very honest!) and also stages. We won't use anybody else. Good luck!

Tinks, looks like you have good referrals here.

The thing I will add is that the show "Designed to Sell" is not realistic.

If you factor in the labor and the true cost of some of the items used, the projects would vastly exceed $2,000.00.

Some of the tile they claim was "only a $1.00 a square foot" and other claims are suspect.

I have a client of mine that does home staging. She is very helpful with designs and knows all the people you need to do the remodel. Her name is Roz Erlewein, cell number is 972-533-2956. I think she would be a helpful contact for you. She operates mainly in frisco.

you can check out her website at www.stagingbyroz.com

good luck,

You stated that you wanted to sell your house in a few years. I would be cautious not to do too much as it relates to "today's market" as tastes change. Also, don't over do improve, as you might price yourself out of the neighborhood.

It's a buyer's market now, but who knows what the real estate market is going to be in a few years.
