Step 5 of 7 · The home itself

The home, honestly.

We handle staging, prep, painting, light upgrades and landscaping end to end. If any of it needs financing, we have a program that covers it and gets paid back from the sale proceeds. So you don't need to think about how you'd manage it. Just tell us where the home stands.

How would you describe your home's current condition, honestly?

Turnkey, comparable to move-in-ready listings on Zillow Solid, could use light upgrades (paint, minor work) Dated (furniture, finishes or layout could use updating) Needs more significant work Not sure, I'd trust your read on it

If you knew that staging typically nets sellers between 6 and 8 percent more, would you consider it?

Yes, I understand it can help my house sell for more Maybe, I'd like to know more I don't see the value in it Budget won't stretch to it right now

Anything else on your mind about prepping the home? Optional
