2) A Great Reason to Hire a Stager

My accountant tells me that the fee you pay a stager can be added to the cost of the sale of your home, thus reducing your home’s basis, and the amount subject to taxation. You can not only sell your home more quickly and for the highest possible price by staging your home, but it can reduce your taxes!

4) Staging Booklet Will Make You Thousands!

I have written a home sale preparation and staging booklet which can help you get a quick sale at a great price. It includes home improvements you can make now to increase your home’s resale value later, home projects to avoid, a room by room staging checklist and how to stage a vacant home. After interviewing dozens of realtors, reviewing remodeling industry surveys and over 10 years of staging homes, I have condensed what I’ve learned and what I share with my clients into a very valuable pamphlet. It can be yours by sending a self-addressed, legal-sized envelope, stamped with $0.55, and your check for $5 (which already includes tax) to: A Fresh Look, 1539 Granger Way, Redwood City, CA 94061.
