"We followed all your suggestions ... Our realtor said almost everyone commented on how clean the house was, it does make a difference. I'm sure the combination of all those things contributed to our quick sale, just as you said they would! Although I found all the information in your presentation valuable, I think the item that had the most impact for me was to determine who your target buyer would be, and aim the changes you make toward them. In our case our target buyer was a young family, so we changed some art and accessories and stored some of our antiques. And it was a young family that bought it.

Thanks again for a fun and informative presentation - it helped make selling our home much less stressful!"
