02— Cleaning + Staging
A clean and tidy home is crucial when it comes to attracting potential buyers. Clutter and mess can make your home look smaller and less inviting. By decluttering and cleaning your home, you’re helping potential buyers see the full potential of your space. It's also an opportunity to get rid of any items you no longer need or use, making moving to your new home easier.

New house numbers: New house numbers can be a simple and inexpensive upgrade that can make a big impact on the curb appeal of your home.
Garage door replacement: Replacing an old garage door can significantly boost your home's resale value.
