Seller preparation
Selective preparation helped a distinctive home sell $100,000 over asking.
The situation
The seller felt overwhelmed by dated and cluttered rooms in a distinctive home with a special setting. The question was not whether to prepare—it was where preparation would matter and where it would simply waste time and money.
Mary’s approach
- Guided the seller through decluttering and editing each space.
- Refined furniture placement and staging to improve the way the home lived and photographed.
- Advised against excessive pre-listing work and replacing serviceable appliances.
- Planned the photography and launch presentation around the home’s setting and strongest features.
The result
The seller avoided unnecessary work and expense, brought the home to market with a focused presentation, and sold for $100,000 over the asking price.
