12. As you are going through these pictures, ask

14. Can you see how adding shadowboxing can

15. A small table will make people feel

17. When Selling a home, try to make it
feel homie

18. It is hard to tell from the picture, but this orange
looking vanity blocked the flow of this room

19. We only painted, and staged this
room.

20. The goal here is to help give you ideas on how
minor little tweaks can go a long way.
 Staging can go along way if you already have a nice
canvas to work on.
 This particular home showed mud on the ceiling that
had not been sanded. You could see the tape
because it did not have enough mud on it.
 Shoe mold and base board were different sizes in
each room.
 Paint on wall was just 1 coat, so you could see white
drywall underneath.

21. Before I was hired to Consult on this project, the house really showed poorly.
Pictures really do not do a house justice. Most of the time, you can’t tell why
a house hasn’t sold or sold for dirt cheap unless you go in it.
• The problem is that when people are inexperienced at
rehabbing, they don’t know how to manage their
money and near the end is where they have to cut
corners.
• This is not good because it negates all of the good that
was done on the house, because buyers will now feel
that if you cut corners here, where else did you cut
corners? Work your numbers backwards, stay within
your budget and get training.
• Don’t blame the contractor when you only have $100
left to paint a whole house.
