Preparing to Show Your Home
First impressions are lasting impressions. You will only have one chance to make a good impression. It is a must that you make sure the buyers looking at your home are left with the best possible impression.
The condition and showability and creating a WOW factor of your home will dramatically effect the marketability of your property and final sale price.
