Selling Real Estate in Madison & South Central Wisconsin: Property Selling Tips
You can stage your home before you place the for sale sign in the yard, or you can stage it virtually like the owners of this home.
Virtual staging offers an excellent way to showcase your home if it's vacant or sparsely furnished. Of course you can stage your vacant home with real furniture and real art, too.
What makes the most sense for your home? Contact us for your own staging consultation. We're always ready and available to help.
How can you dramatically increase your home's value, and without breaking the bank? Usually, the answer involves low-cost, high-impact projects like paint, flooring, and light fixtures.

We're glad we were there to serve our clients in their time of need, and we're here to serve you and yours when you need

…We live in an anxious world where the future often feels uncertain. So it's only natural that you will feel some anxiety, too, when you make the decision to buy or sell. After all, you are bound to have some high stakes questions.
Will interest rates go up or down from here?
Will you find the type of home that you're looking for?

Planning ahead is often a good thing, especially when it comes to real estate. Which is why we're always happy to help you prepare for your future. Months, or even years, before you intend to move.
Done the right way, many home improvement projects are an investment in your home, not an expense, and it's all about buyer psychology:
First, the right projects eliminate buyer objections. For example, think of the purple or pink bedroom. Painting the room a neutral color adds instant value to the home simply by removing a negative.
Second, the right improvements offer buyers instant gratification. The truth is, many buyers are willing to pay a premium for the home that's move-in-ready and well-maintained. Especially in today's economy, when good contractors can be elusive and expensive.
