From the seller guide
Same room. Same beams, same brick, same floor. About $10,000 in cleaning, pest control, paint and staging — and nothing structural changed. The other two agents priced a two-bedroom ranch, because that is all they could see.
The house didn’t need a major renovation. It needed to show buyers what it was worth.

Licensed broker · Chicago & the northwest suburbs
I’ve spent years watching buyers walk through homes — and watching sellers spend money in the wrong places.
These guides aren’t theory. They’re built on what I have actually watched change how a buyer sees a house, and what it finally sold for.
