Frequently Asked Questions

We can create a plan to make it as simple as possible without reducing the value. My

goal is to help you NET the most money you can, not necessarily GET the most. If you

• Moving companies also provide packing services.
• Stagers will also give advice and can recommend helpers.

In most cases we will need to make all the repairs before we go on the market. We want our first impression to be great.

• Professional stagers study the current buyers and know exactly what makes them spend money. It’s not a requirement, but it is almost always beneficial.
• Some stagers don’t bring their own furniture, but they redesign your home using your current fixtures and simply adding a few special touches.

• Down payments can vary as far as the entire purchase price. A Conventional Loan normally requires a 20% down payment to avoid Mortgage Premium Insurance. That’s not your only option.
• Some conventional loans only require a 5% or 3% down payment.
• Some FHA loans only require 3.5% down payment.
• Some VA loans require 0 down.
• Some lenders, employers or government entities provide down payment assistance as well.
